The late 14th century was a time of experimentation, with composers attaining new heights of rhythmic and melodic complexity. The exponents of this "more subtle art" included Baude Cordier, Jacob Senleches, and the anonymous composers at the court of King Janus of Nicosia. We'll hear performances by the Huelgas Ensemble and Ensemble Organum.
