Guillaume De machaut

Explanation:

Guillaume De Machaut was the French musician and composer who was regarded as the most important composer during the Middle Ages. The Middle Age poet, Geoffrey Chaucer, was inspired by his writings; he also imitated his works.

During the Middle Ages, Machaut was regarded as a Master of French versification by his contemporaries.

Messe de Nostre Dame was composed by Machaut in 1365. This composition is considered the masterpiece of the Middle Ages as it consists of a complete set of Ordinary of the Mass. The composition is attributed to a single composer only, Machaut.

Machaut used to travel to many courts and would present his beautifully decorated musical copies to the noble patrons.
