V. Guillaume de Machaut Guillaume de Machaut (c. 1300 - 1377) A French classical composer, important in the development of polyphonic music. His works include La Messe De Notre Dame, one of the earliest masses, probably composed in 1364, several motets and many songs. Machaut was born around 1300 in the Champagne region of France. He had a clerical education and took holy orders. In 1323 he joined the royal household of John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, and served as secretary in the the king's retinue. He traveled with King John's court, but increasingly spent his time composing rather than in administration, becoming widely respected as a poet and a composer. His first verified composition was a motet Machuat was the leading exponent of the Ars Nova movement that flourished in France during the fourteenth century. He was one of the earliest known users of syncopated rhythm, and was at the forefront of rhythmic experimentation in both his religious and his secular music. His Hoquetus David is one of the first pieces of purely instrumental music in modern Western times. In addition, he composed for voices in a wider vocal range than was previously thought possible. In all, he wrote more than 140 (mainly

M MACHAUT, GUILLAUME DE BIOGRAPHY Guillaume de Machaut, a leading French composer and poet of the 14th century, was born in Rheims, were he spent the greater part of his life, after earlier employment in the service of John of Luxemburg, King of Bohemia. He was employed subsequently by various members of the nobility, including the future Charles V of France. He held various church benefices and as a musician was pre-eminent in the period in the history of music known as the Ars nova, when composers created music of increased rhythmic complexity. Church Music Machaut's best known composition is his Messe de Notre Dame, Mass of Our Lady, an early example of a cyclic setting of the liturgical text, in which the sections are musically related. His Hoquetus David makes similar use of the technique of isorhythm, in which a given basic sequence of notes, derived normally from plainchant, is divided into a repeated rhythmic pattern. The hocket referred to in the title is a musical hiccough, a popular technical device of the time, in which the musical line is interrupted by sudden rests. Secular Music Machaut was a prolific composer of secular vocal music, in the contemporary metrical and musical forms of lais, virelais, ballades and rondeaux.

Siddhartha Guillaume de Machaut c. 1300-1377 PLACES: Machaut - A discography Guillaume de Machaut International Machaut Society Home Page Guillaume de Machaut was a French poet and the most accomplished and versatile composer of the 14th century. A member of the household of King John of Bohemia from 1323, Machaut later became a canon of Reims, where he resided from 1340 until his death. As a young man he accompanied the king on military expeditions and developed a distinct fondness for falconry, horseback riding, and adventure. The richness and diversity of his experiences served him in good stead when he wrote his numerous and expansive collections of poetry, many of which were graced with musical compositions. His later patrons included the king's daughter, Bonne of Luxembourg, Charles of Navarre, and King Charles V of France. Several of the richly illuminated manuscripts of his works were prepared under his close supervision for the benefit of noble and royal protectors. Machaut's short, gemlike lyrics helped establish the rondeaux, ballade, and virelai, poetic forms that prevailed for more than a century. Nearly all the virelais he set to music are monophonic (set to a single line of melody). His graceful polyphonic (multivoice) ballades and rondeaux also set European secular song style for the next century: a high, sung melody accompanied by two lower instrumental parts. Of his 23 motets, 6 are to liturgical Latin texts and 17 to secular French texts. They are in three parts, with complex rhythmic and interwoven melody textures. Structurally, they are isorhythmic, or based on long underlying melodic and rhythmic cycles. His four-part

Palestrina's week in the limelight has passed, and now I find myself listening to the spare, and very different, Messa de Nostre Dame by Guillaume de Machaut. He was composing in France in the 14th century, and was apparently the most prominent figure of the French Ars Nova - a musical movement in France that consisted essentially of 14th century music and its innovations. It sounds quite different than Palestrina's Misse. I can't quite describe it - it's clear that Machaut's music was much earlier. It is polyphony in its youth - healthy and strong, but simple.

11. Guillaume De Machaut Guillaume de Machaut (circa 13001377) One of the undisputed pinnacle geniuses of Western music, and the most famous composer of the Middle Ages. http://www.lichtensteiger.de/machaut.html

Guillaume de Machaut (circa 1300-1377) :: "One of the undisputed pinnacle geniuses of Western music, and the most famous composer of the Middle Ages. Today his four-voice Mass of Notre Dame is a textbook example for medieval counterpoint, and has served sufficiently to maintain his reputation across shifts in fashion. Although he wrote music for more than one hundred of his French poems, and even for half a dozen motets in Latin, Machaut remains best-known for his Mass of Notre Dame . This mass was written as part of the commemoration of the Virgin endowed by the Machaut brothers at Rheims, and was intended for performance in a smaller setting by specialized soloists. The most striking aspect of the piece is not simply the high quality of the contrapuntal writing, but the architectural unity of the Ordinary sections as well. Machaut's mass is not the earliest surviving mass cycle (there are two which predate it), but it is the earliest by a single composer and indeed the earliest to display this degree of unity. While the chants used as cantus firmus do vary, opening gestures and motivic figures are used to confirm the cyclical nature of the work.

15. Medieval Music: Guillaume De Machaut Guillaume de Machaut (13001377), from Machaut in northern France, was a poet/musician and became a cleric, so some of his work is sacred. http://www.wsu.edu/~delahoyd/medieval/machaut.html

Dr. Michael Delahoyde Washington State University MEDIEVAL MUSIC: GUILLAUME DE MACHAUT Guillaume de Machaut (1300-1377), from Machaut in northern France, was a poet/musician and became a cleric, so some of his work is sacred. But he is best known for his secular music and was very influential on Chaucer. Machaut is known for his use of pan-isorhythm isorhythm appearing in all parts and his through-composed monophonic lais. He oversaw his own collected works, the six "Machaut Manuscripts," so we're beginning to move out of the generally anonymous medieval period with the "rise of the artist." In his Livre du voir dit Book of the True Poem Machaut's Messe de Nostre Dame Mass of Our Lady ), composed in the 1350s or '60s is the only 14th-century complete setting of the Mass Ordinary attributable to a known composer what later would be called a Mass Cycle. Though the movements are not all unified by any particular theme, each movement is based on the appropriate chant for that part of the Mass, and Machaut uses isorhythm in each. Thus, the Kyrie is based on the plainchant Kyrie Cunctipotens Genitor Deus . This four-voice medieval polyphony is characteristic in its being very horizontally composed, line overlaid by line, rather than displaying the vertical sensitivity and even chord functions of later composition. Double leading-tone cadences are also distinctive.

Guillaume De Machaut From LoveToKnow 1911 GUILLAUME DE MACHAUT c. 130o-1377), French poet and musician, was born in the village of Machault near Rethel in Champagne . Machaut tells us that he served for thirty years the adventurous John of Luxembourg, king of Bohemia . He followed his master to Russia and Poland , and, though of peaceful tastes himself, saw twenty battles and a hundred tourneys. When John was killed at Crecy in 1346 Machaut was received at the court of Normandy , and on the accession of John the Good to the throne of France (1350) he received an office which enabled him to devote himself thenceforth to music and poetry . Machaut wrote about 1348 in honour of Charles III ., king of Navarre , a long poem much admired by contemporaries, Le Jugement du roi de Navarre. When Charles was thrown into prison by his fatherin-law, King John, Machaut addressed him a Conlon d'ami to console him for his enforced separation from his young wife, then aged fifteen. This was followed about 1370 by a poem of 9000 lines entitled La Prise d'Alexandrie

20. Guillaume De Machaut Guillaume de Machaut. By Dena. Guillaume de Machuat, a medieval composer of the fourteen century, was born in 1300, in Rheims, France. http://www.wvec.k12.in.us/kes/music/dcf98/denad.html

This page is part of the KES website archives and is no longer actively maintained. To see current classroom websites, visit the KES Classroom Projects Page Guillaume de Machaut By Dena Guillaume de Machuat, a medieval composer of the fourteen century, was born in 1300, in Rheims, France. He wrote more songs than any composer of his time. Some of his most famous works are the Mass of Notre Dame, Remede de Fortune, a long narrative poem, and Ma Finest Mon Commencement, in which the text provide a key to a cannon. Thought to be educated in Rheims, he became a royal secretary to John Luxembourg, king of Bohemia, in 1323. He continued in this service until the king died in 1346. Machaut then served various members of the French high nobility for many years. In his later life his time was dedicated to organizing his works. With his output of motets (unaccompanied sacred songs) and other works, Machuat was the most important figure of the Ars Nova. The Ars Nova is when composers created music of increased rhythmic complexity. Machautâs work the Mass of Notre Dame, is very complex and fancy, unusual for church music at that time. For some time it was believed to have been composed for the coronation of king Charles V in 1364, but that is now doubtful. Even so it is known that Charles V was a great admirer of Machaut and even went to visit him in his own home! Knowing this, it is most likely that Machaut wrote music for him. In 1377, thirteen years after writing the Mass of Notre Dame, Machaut died in Rheims, France, at the age of 77.
