About me / Bio:
Philippe de Vitry was a French composer, poet, and music theorist who was one of the most influential figures in the history of medieval music. He is credited with the authorship of the Ars nova notandi, a treatise that introduced new concepts and techniques of musical notation, such as mensuration signs, isorhythm, and coloration. He also composed many motets, some of which are attributed to him in the Roman de Fauvel, a satirical allegory that criticizes the corruption and decadence of the church and society. He was also a prominent churchman and statesman who served as a secretary and adviser to several French kings and popes. He became the bishop of Meaux in 1351 and died in Paris in 1361. He was praised by his contemporaries as a leading musician, poet, and philosopher of his age. Petrarch wrote a glowing tribute to him, calling him: "... the keenest and most ardent seeker of truth, so great a philosopher of our age."²¹
