Score of Baude Cordier's chanson "Belle, bonne, sage." Chantilly Manuscript, ca. 1350-1400. The manuscript is one of the classic examples of ars subtilior, which requires red notes, or "coloration" to indicate changes in note lengths from their normally written values. This chanson, a dedicatory piece on the love of a lady and a lord written in the shape of a heart, opens the corpus. Note the heart of notes within the larger heart.
"The poets and singers of the Troubadour tradition envisioned love as inspiration to song."
