Messe dîte du Sacre de Charles V - 1364

Album by Guillaume de Machaut & Curt Sachs & Les Paraphonistes de St-Jean des Matines & Guillaume de Van

Messe dîte du Sacre de Charles V - 1364 is a polyphonic mass by Guillaume de Machaut, composed in 1364. It exemplifies the fourteenth-century ars nova style through intricate polyphony, isorhythmic and modal techniques and was created for the coronation of Charles V, representing one of Machaut's mature sacred works and reflecting developments in medieval liturgical composition.
