In the early fourteenth century, musicians in France and later
Italy established new traditions of secular and sacred polyphony.
This ars nova, or "new art," popularized by theorists such as
Philippe de Vitry and Johannes de Muris was the among the first of
many later movements to establish the music of the present as a
clean break from the past. The rich music of this period, by
composers such as Guillaume de Machaut and Francesco Landini, is
not only beautiful, but also rewards deep study and analysis. Yet
contradictions and gaps abound in the ars nova of the fourteenth
and early fifteenth centuries-how do we read this music? how do we
perform this music? what was the cultural context of these
performances? These problems are well met by the ingenuity of
approaches and solutions found by scholars in this volume. The
twenty-seven articles brought together reflect the broad
methodological and chronological range of scholarly inquiry on the
ars nova.
