Music theorists labelled the musical art of the 1330s and 1340s as
'new' and 'modern'. A close reading of writings on music theory and
the polyphonic repertory from the first half of the fourteenth
century reveals a modern musical art that arose due to specific
innovations in music notation. The French ars nova employed as its
theoretical fundament a new system for arranging musical time
proposed by the astronomer and mathematician Jean des Murs.
Challenging prevailing accounts of the ars nova, this book presents
the 'new art' within the intellectual context of its time, revises
the datings of Jean des Murs's writings on music theory, and
presents the intersection of theory and practice for a crucial era
in the history of music. Through contemporaneous accounts, Desmond
explores how individuals were involved in 'changing' music in early
fourteenth-century France, and the technical developments they
pursued that precipitated this stylistic change.
