		Later he was prominent in the courts of Charles IV, Philippe VI and Jean II, serving as secretary and advisor.
		Philippe de Vitry was the older friend of the famous scientist and musicologist Nicole Oresme.
		Vitry is also often credited with developing the concept of isorhythm (an isorhythmic line is one which has repeating patterns of rhythms and pitches, but the patterns overlap rather than correspondâ”for example a line of thirty consecutive notes might contain five repetitions of a six-note melody, and six repetitions of a five-note rhythm).

		Vitry was known in his lifetime as both a poet and a composer, although little poetry, and only a handful of motets, survive; a number of his early motets appear in the Roman de Fauvel.
		In the treatise Vitry recognizes the existence of five note values (duplex longa,longa,brevis,semibrevis,and minima), codifies a system of binary as well as ternary mensuration at four levels (maximodus,modus,tempus,prolatio), and introduces four time signatures.
		The Ars novais transmitted in four manuscripts, which appear to represent Vitry's work as formulated by his disciples; only the last ten of its twenty-four chapters--those that address mensural rhythm and notation--are original.

		Philippe de Vitry was one of the most prominent figures in medieval music.
		Vitry was the author of an important music theory text, Ars Nova, which has been taken up as the name of that entire period of music history.
		Vitry's music provides much of the new technical means which would lead to the increased melodic invention and cosmopolitan subtlety of the following generations of composers, from Machaut to Guillaume Dufay.

		Philippe de Vitry (1291-1361) was one of the most prominent figures in medieval music.
		In many ways, de Vitry's interests and accomplishments reflected the Pythagorean view that music is a subdivision of arithmetic, as shown, for example, in the simple mathematical relations between pitch and length of a string (see Circles of Dissonance, Nov. 24, 1997).
		De Vitry focused on pairs of harmonic numbers that differ by 1: 1, 2; 2, 3; 3, 4; and 8, 9.

		In the Ars Nova, Vitry is primarily concerned with expanding the rhythmic resources offered to composers; he introduces new rhythmic schemes, along with a new mensural notation which was to play an important role for more than a hundred years after his death.
		In this regard, he prefigures Machaut in the use of isorhythm (a single rhythmic figure continually repeated by a voice), though his use of isorhythm is more isolated in that it is used at certain points in the motet in order to articulate phrases and structural elements, rather than as a pervasive.
		Vitry was a singular genius who found new modes of expression that would not be fully refined until many years after his death.

	Isorhythm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ars nova composer Philippe de Vitry has been credited with the invention of the technique, but it "was neither an invention of Philippe de Vitry nor his exclusive property in the early fourteenth century." The isorhythmic construction was often varied through the use of strict or free rhythmic diminuation in the repetion of the color.
		The color of isorhythm may be compared with the tone row of the twelve-tone technique's fixed order of pitches and varied durations.

		The Roman de Fauvel is a satire on abuses in the medieval church, and is filled with medieval motets, lais, rondeaux and other new secular forms.
		While most of the music is anonymous, it contains several pieces by Philippe de Vitry, one of the first composers of the isorhythmic motet, a development which distinguishes the fourteenth century.

		The connections between Vitry and the Fauvel circle have been much debated in recent years, and currently we have no documentary evidence placing Philippe de Vitry in Paris prior to 1321, some four years after the luxury manuscript of the Roman de Fauvel, Paris, BNF fr.
		Thus, Robertson’s speculations about Machaut’s educational connections to Philippe de Vitry, and her further speculations about the possible connection between Machaut and the Fauvel compilation are probably overstated given our current knowledge.

		It will be argued that some of its innovations form part of the transition to ars nova, and that the current view of Fauvel as the earliest document of ars nova is therefore inappropriate.
		The approach is flexible and inclusive, and unlike existing studies the ars nova is considered from the late-thirteenth century perspective rather than that of Vitry.
		More specifically the thesis examines some late-thirteenth century motets that show early use of ordered, large-scale designs, many of which are comparable with those found in Fauvel.

	KeepMedia \| Rough Guides Music: Guillaume de Machaut
		Round about the year 1320 the French composer and theoretician Philippe de Vitry wrote a treatise entitled Ars Nova (New Art) in which he claimed that the recent technical innovations in music amounted to a major break with the music of the immediate past.
		Musicologists later employed the term Ars Nova for the developments that took place in French and Italian music in the fourteenth century, designating the previous period the period of early polyphony (c.9001250) Ars Antiqua.
		Guillaume de Machaut was the outstanding Ars Nova composer, exploiting new musical techniques that make much of his work sound startlingly modern.

	Sonic Glossary: Non-imitative Polyphony
		Composers from these earlier times were especially fond of combining equally independent musical parts in a non-imitative polyphonic texture.
		Here, in a 14th-century motet written by Philippe de Vitry, the practice is taken to an extreme, as three different voices with completely different sets of words and musical material interact.
		The complete independence of the lines is emphasized even further by the frequent use of different speeds in each part.
