		In reality, the ars subtilior is nothing but a modern invention to distinguish a certain group of works from their historical context.
		The ars subtilior is the polyphony of imbalance, everything is always out of sinc, like a underwater mosaic which is twisted by the emotion of a performer.
		Of the few treatises on rhythm relating specifically to the ars subtilior, the most important (which is still treated as anonymous, but can perhaps be attributed to Philipot de Caserta) describes the rhythm of the subtilior as the technique of notating an art form which was improvised before it was written down.

	Encyclopedia: Ars subtilior
		Ars subtilior (more subtle art) is a musical style characterized by rhythmic and notational complexity, centered around Avignon in southern France, at the end of the fourteenth century (Hoppin 1978, p.472-473).
		The ars nova was a stylistic period in music of the Late Middle Ages, centered in France, which encompassed the period from the publication of the Roman de Fauvel (1310 and 1314) until the death of Machaut (1377).
		Albright contrasts this motivation with "expressive urgency" and "obedience to rules of craft" and, indeed, ars subtilior was coined to avoid the negative connotations of the terms manneristic style and mannered notation.

		Often the term is used in contrast with ars nova, which applies to the musical style of the preceding period from about 1310 to about 1370; though some scholars prefer to consider the ars subtilior a subcategory of the earlier style.
		Musically the productions of the ars subtilior are highly refined, complex, difficult to sing, and probably were produced, sung and enjoyed by a small audience of specialists and connoisseurs.
		From Avignon the style spread into northern Spain and as far as Cyprus (which was a French cultural outpost at the time).

		The first was the ars nova, the new, predominantly secular music which began with the publication of the Roman de Fauvel, and culminated in the rondeaux, ballades, lais, virelais, motets, and single surviving mass of Guillaume de Machaut, who died in 1370.
		Philippe de Vitry, also a representative of the ars nova, invented an improved system of musical notation and may have been the first composer of the isorhythmic motet.
		The other important development was the extremely complex and sophisticated art of secular song which flourished in Avignon at the very end of the 14th century (see ars subtilior).

		The group of composers working at or near the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris from about 1170 to 1250, along with the music they produced, is referred to as the Notre Dame school, or the Notre Dame School of Polyphony.

		In late Medieval and early Renaissance Europe, cultural centers tended to move from one place to another due to changing political stability and the presence of either the spiritual or temporal power, for instance the Pope, Anti-pope or the Holy Roman Emperor.
		In the 14th century, the main centers of musical activity were northern France, Avignon, and Italy, as represented by Guillaume de Machaut and the ars nova, the ars subtilior, and Landini respectively; Avignon had a brief but important cultural flowering because it was the location of the Papacy during the Western Schism.
		When France was ravaged by the Hundred Years War (1337 – 1453), the cultural center migrated farther east, to Dijon and other towns in Burgundy and the Low Countries, known then collectively as the Netherlands.

	World War 1 and 2 - Gilles Binchois (Site not responding. Last check: )
		He is often considered to be the finest melodist of the 15th century, writing carefully shaped lines which are easy to sing, and utterly memorable; his tunes continued to appear in copies decades later, and were often used as sources for mass composition by later composers.
		Most of his music, even his sacred music, is simple and clear in outline, sometimes even ascetic; a greater contrast between Binchois and the extreme complexity of the ars subtilior of the previous century would be hard to imagine.
		Most of his secular songs are rondeaux, which had become the commonest song form of the century; but Binchois rarely writes simple strophic form, instead shaping his melody almost independent of the rhyme scheme of the verse.

		Ars Nova arose from the many new and provoking ideas that occurred during the waning of the Middle Ages.
		Ars Nova is literally a New Art, music that bears the hallmark of a new era.
		But even more interesting is that Ars Nova has opened the way to a compositorial debate, where music serves as a vehicle for composers to discuss their views on music and poetry.

	Peter Davies/ The Medieval Ensemble of London/
		Considering the association of consonant sounds with the laws of divine harmony during the Middle Ages, it isn't surprising that dissonance was identified with Hell, and was chaotic with respect to the established conventional order.
		During the Ars subtilior this was also compounded by tremendous complexity, still striking today.
		The Medieval Ensemble of London perform 16 of the most representative fragments from the "devilish" Ars subtilior, including the ballad Or voit tout en aventure, which is something like a manifesto of style, and Dieux gart qui bien le chantera, Guido de Lange's only two known works.

	Medieval music
		In the highly syncopated works of the Ars subtilior, different voices of the same composition would sometimes be written in different tempus signatures simultaneously.
		The beginning of the Ars nova is one of the few clean chronological divisions in medieval music, since it corresponds to the publication of the Roman de Fauvel, a huge compilation of poetry and music, in 1310 and 1314.
		The term "Ars nova" (new art, or new technique) was coined by Philippe de Vitry in his treatise of that name (probably written in 1322), in order to distinguish the practice from the music of the immediately preceding age.

		The Chantilly Codex, apparently compiled shortly before 1400, is easily the most famous manuscript of the Ars Subtilior.
		The bulk of the works apparently date from c.1370-95, with the possible exception of Baude Cordier's famous "puzzle" rondeaus added at the beginning of the manuscript.
		The rondeaus of Cordier are notated in the shape of a circle (track #9; canonic) and a heart (track #12) and represent this style at its most obscure.

		Ars Nova no es sólo el título de la obra más conocida de Philippe de Vitry, un teórico musical francés de principios del siglo XIV, sino que con dicho término se comenzó a denominar el estilo musical que se fue desarrollando en Francia a partir de las nuevas teorías musicales del tratado de Vitry.
		El término Ars Nova aplicado tanto a la música francesa como a la italiana está bien merecido, pues ambas supusieron una revolución de los esquemas musicales imperantes a finales del siglo anterior.

	HOASM: The Ars Nova In France
		All classes experienced discontent: the old feudal aristocracy was declining in the face of a rising bourgeois, and peasants wanted their say in the changing social order.
		Modern scholars liked the term Ars Nova so much that they adopted it as a convenient catchphrase denoting 14th-century polyphony; by extension the polyphony of the preceding century (some expand it to include the Notre Dame school) became the Ars Antiqua.
		The earliest major source for isorhythmic motets is the Roman de Fauvel; the next important source of French Ars Nova music is a manuscript, theIvrea Codex, now residing in the Chapter Library at Ivrea.

	Zacara da Teramo Biography from Basic Famous People - Biographies of Celebrities and other Famous People
		Antonio Zacara da Teramo (Zacar, Zacara, Zaccara, Zacharie, Zachara) (1350 to 1360 — between May 19, 1413 and 1416) was an Italian composer, singer, and papal secretary of the late trecento and early 15th century.
		He was one of the most active Italian composers right around 1400, and his style bridged the periods of the trecento, ars subtilior, and beginnings of the musical Renaissance.
		Three songs are found in other sources, including the bizarre Sumite, karissimi, capud de Remulo, patres, which has been called the most rhythmically complex composition of the entire ars subtilior [2] All but one of his secular songs are ballate.

	abstract
		Nurtured in the courts of wealthy lords, the music of this society reflected and contributed to the prestige of the upper-class society.
		In this style, now known as the Ars subtilior (the more subtle art), highly trained poet-musicians wrote and performed complex music for the entertainment of an elite, highly cultured audience.
		And interestingly, the musician also includes his own class in the description of Febus’s court, stating that Febus is supported by flocks of poets.
