I've become interested in the music and poetry of Guillaume de Machaut, born in 1300. He's more well-known for his secular music, but also for one famous mass. This brief volume (76 pages) in the Oxford Studies of Composers series discusses his life, poetry, musical style, and forms of compositions (lays, virelais, ballades, rondeaux, motets, and the mass).
