The Chantilly codex, Bibliothèque du château de Chantilly, MS. 564, has long been recognized as one of the most important repositories for French secular music of the late fourteenth century. Among its 99 chansons and 13 Latin or French-texted motets it preserves dozens of unique works by composers scarcely known—or unknown—elsewhere. These works include some of the most elaborate surviving examples of so-called ‘Ars subtilior’ notation, bearing testimony to the efforts of composers of the last decades of the fourteenth century in experimenting with the written representation of musical rhythm.
