Search - Mauillon, Biffi, Hamon :: L'Amoureus Tourment

Guillaume de Machaut was the most accomplished and versatile composer of the 14th century. The period s intense melting pot of cultures gave birth to a wealth of new musical and poetic forms. One of the last of the trouvères, Machaut is credited with codifying a form called the lay, a long narrative poem depicting the joys and torments of courtly love. Marc Mauillon s important new recording for Eloquentia features the premiere complete recording of Machaut s first lay, Loyauté que point ne delay. Comprising nearly 36 minutes, this is one of the most important and influential works of the period.
