Ars musice, composed in Paris during the late thirteenth century,
reflects Johannes de Grocheio's awareness of the complexity of the
task of describing music. As the editors note in their
introduction, "Grocheio is aware of the enormous range of types of
music performed in different ways in different places. How can he
impose order on this enormous subject matter? He decided to resolve
this question by structuring his discussion around the practice of
music that he observed in the city of Paris, organized into three
main 'branches': music of the people (musica vulgalis), composite
or regular, 'which they call measured music' (musica mensurata),
and ecclesiastical music (musica ecclesiastica), which he claims
derives from the other two (AM 6.2). The originality of Grocheio's
treatise has attracted considerable scholarly interest. It has long
been recognized as a unique source of information about musical
life in medieval Paris. Through his treatise, Grocheio enables a
modern reader to become aware of the complex auditory environment
of that city in the late thirteenth century as well as of its
intellectual vitality at a particularly vibrant moment in its
history."
