The Orlando Consort
This simple monophonic virelai is a relatively early work, dating from before 1349, and shows that Machaut, though famous for his subtle and complex polyphony, was also capable of writing a good tune!

Ce simple virelai monophonique est une création relativement ancienne, datant d’avant 1349, et montre que Machaut, bien que célèbre pour sa polyphonie subtile et complexe, était aussi capable d’écrire un air de qualité!

Français: Marianne Fernée

Dieses einfache monophone virelai ist ein verhältnismässig frühes Werk, das vor 1349 geschrieben wurde, und es zeigt, dass Machaut, der hauptsächlich für seine verfeinerte und komplexe Polyphonie bekannt ist, auch eine gute Melodie schreiben konnte.
