This is Volume 3 of the collected "Oeuvres de Guillaume de Machaut," a pivotal figure in 14th-century French literature and music. Guillaume de Machaut (c. 1300-1377) was a medieval French poet and composer, and is regarded as the most important composer and poet of the 14th century. His works include both monophonic and polyphonic chansons, motets, and the earliest complete setting of the Ordinary of the Mass attributable to a single composer. This volume, edited by Ernest Hoepffner, offers a scholarly presentation of Machaut's significant contributions to the development of both music and literature during the late Middle Ages. A valuable resource for scholars and students interested in medieval music, poetry, and cultural history, this edition preserves the legacy of one of the most influential artists of his time.
