Guillaume de Machaut

French composer and poet Guillaume de Machaut was born in about 1300 and died in April 1377. Often regarded as the most significant fourteenth century European composer, he is also one of the first European composers about whom we have significant biographical information. His pre-1365 Messe de Nostre Dame is the earliest surviving complete setting of the Ordinary of the Mass by a single identifiable composer.
