Wrap up the weekend with a program connecting Machaut to the next generation. Late-14th-century Ars subtilior (the “more subtle art”) composers built on his work, crafting songs about mysterious, smoky speculators known as fumeurs. Enjoy projected texts and illustrations, a taste of French food & drink, and—as an extra treat—learn how to sing and dance a virelai!

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.
