Guillaume de Machaut, renowned fourteenth-century French composer
and poet, wrote the first polyphonic Mass and many other important
musical works. Friend of royalty, prelates, noted poets and
musicians, Machaut was a cosmopolitan presence in late medieval
Europe. He also served as canon of the cathedral of Reims, an
ancient and influential archiepiscopal see and the coronation site
of French kings. This exploration of Machaut's life and work
focuses on his music based on ecclesiastical chants: twenty-three
motets, the David Hocket, and the Mass of Our Lady. The meaning of
his music can often be understood through study of its context in
fourteenth-century Reims. Machaut emerges as a composer deeply
involved in the great crises of his day, one who skilfully and
artfully expresses profound themes of human existence in ardent
music and poetry.
