| | Machaut: Discography, Biography, Lyrics |
 | | In 1361 the Dauphine was received in Machaut's quarters, an exceptional event. |
 | | By the 1370s Machaut's name was associated with Pierre de Lusignan, King of Cyprus, thus establishing his fame nearly as far as Asia. |
 | | Machaut is frequently portrayed today as an avant garde composer, especially because of his position with regard to the early Ars Nova (a new, more detailed rhythmic notation), but one must also emphasize the masterful continuity with which he employed established forms. |
