Discover the world of Guillaume de Machaut, where medieval devotion meets the timeless language of love.
Following the huge success of its first Delos recording, Chanticleer now turns to the fourteenth century's most celebrated composer: Guillaume de Machaut. Born in obscurity, he rose to hold prestigious positions, excelling in both sacred and secular fields. Songs such as "Riches d'amour" and "Douce dame jolie," among others, show Machaut as the courtly poet-composer who sings the emotional experience of secular love for his noble patrons.
