		MACHAUT, GUILLAUME DE (c.1300 - 1377) Probably educated in Reims, he entered the service of John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, as a royal secretary, circa 1323.

		Much of Machaut's polyphonic music reflects the interest that composers had in building complex structures based on the repetition and manipulation of borrowed melodies (a technique called isorhythm).
		The harmonies found in Machaut's pieces are built around the fifth and the octave, the primary consonances of the period.

	The Medieval Lyric - About Guillaume de Machaut
		What especially characterizes Machaut and sets him off from earlier traditions is that he was one of the first writers to whom the words "poet" or "author" in the modern sense could be applied.
		Machaut’s works may be divided into the categories he establishes — with one exception — in his manuscripts: narrative verse, lyric poetry, and musical compositions.
		Machaut’s achievement is particularly influential with the ballade, the form through which he most brilliantly demonstrated his new style, and which became the most important form of the 14th century.

	HOASM: Guillaume de Machaut
		Machaut lived more like a trouvère than a cleric, traveling widely with and for his patrons (perhaps as far as Poland and Lithuania) and writing his poetry and music on command for courtly occasions.
		Machaut was equally esteemed as both poet and musician during his lifetime; in fact, three-quarters of his surviving work is unaccompanied poetry, full of structural intricacies and love for anagram and other fiddles.
		In 1340 Machaut decided, however, without leaving the employ of his patron, to retire to Rheims as a canon of the cathedral, where he led the sedentary life of a tonsured cleric.
