- Notes: Voice perform with The Dufay Collective (www.dufay.com) as part of Dartington International Summer School. A Distant Mirror: Machaut, Mannerism and the Medieval Mind The fourteenth century was a time of massive upheaval. Plague, economic turmoil, a hundred years of war, climate change, and crippling foreign campaigns all contributed to an era of crisis for the established order. Musical ideas sprung fresh and new in this challenging terrain; an ars nova combined lithe lyricism with mathematical complexity and central to this was the genius of Guillaume de Machaut. This concert places Machaut’s art in its context, complemented by Trecento songs by Landini, mannerist morsels from the Chantilly Codex and virtuosic instrumentals.
