Le grant rhetorique: The Music & Poetry of Guillaume de Machaut
January 26 @ 2:00 pm

About
A feast of songs and motets by the most famous poet and composer of the 14th century. Experience a broad range of Machaut’s captivating secular music—by far the largest part of his output—including the lay, the most virtuosic of the old forms; the polytextual motet, combining French courtly texts with plainchant melodies deployed allegorically; and the three modern lyric forms codified by Machaut himself: the ballade, virelai, and rondeau.
