| 14th Century | The elite music of the time is characterized by an interplay between structure and pleasure, the former evident in the rhythmic and melodic patterning known as ISORHYTHM and in standardized forms for secular song, and the later in engaging melodies, chromatic inflections, more frequent imperfect consonances, and new possibilities in notating rhythm and meter |
| emphasis on structure and pleasure in the 14th c. | Seems to be a response to the forces of disorder and discontent in society at large (was shitty times!!!) |
| 13th Century Church | In 13th c., Europeans viewed the church as the supreme authority in matters of faith as well as intellectual and political affairs |
| 14th Century Church | Now its authority (especially the supremacy of teh pope, was widely questioned) |
| King Philip IV (the Fair) | In 1305, the popes resided at Avignon in southeastern France, under the virtual control of the French king= This period, known as the Babylonian Captivity of the papacy |
| Babylonian Captivity | Was in 1305 when King Philip IV (the Fair) controlled the pope residing in Avignon |
| The Great Schism | Followed the "Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy"= From 1378-1417, there were rival claimants to the papacy in Rome, in Avignon, and later in Pisa= This issue, coupled with scandals, drew sharp criticisms |
| Science and religion | While in the the 13th c. could generally reconcile revelationa nd reason, the divine and human realms, and religion and politics= but in the 14thc., people began to separate science from religion and to see different roles for the church and the state |
| William of Ockham | 1285-1349= Told followers that knowledge of nature and of humanity should rest on the experience of the senses rather than on reason alone and should seek natural rather than supernatural explanations= His views laid foundations for the modern scientific mehtod= |

| 14th Century Music | Heavy around secular interests= Best known composers of the time were Guillaume de Machaut and Francesco Landini= Both focused on secular music= However, composition of sacred music (including both monophonic chants and polyphony) remained strong |
| Roman de Fauvel | An allegorical narrative poem of 14th c. satirizing corruption in politics and the church, written as a warning to the king of France and enjoyed in high political circles at court |
| Roman de Fauvel | pg. 115 |
| Roman de Fauvel | (when put to music) Most are monophonic, from Latin chants to secular songs= But 34 are motets, many with texts that denounce the lax morals of the clergy or refer to political events= Among these motets in the Roman de Fauvel are the first examples of a new style called ARS NOVA |
