Guilllaume de Machaut was "the last great poet who was also a composer," in the words of the scholar Daniel Leech-Wilkinson. Well into the fifteenthth century, Machaut's poetry was greatly admired and imitated by other poets including Geoffrey Chaucer. Machaut is also the most celebrated composer of the 14th century; he composed in a wide range of styles and forms and his output was enormous. He was the most famous and historically significant representative of the musical movement known as the ars nova. Machaut was especially influential in the development of the motet and the secular song (particularly the formes fixes, the lai, virelai, and ballade). Machaut wrote the Messe de Nostre Dame, the earliest complete setting of the Ordinary of the Mass attributable to a single composer, and influenced composers for centuries after his death.

Fire and Wind
When it came to music, I had always been attracted to metal and hardcore. But now, I simply cannot stop listening to liturgies. Catholics may have had some controversial theology, but they certainly got their music right. Who can deny the beauty and awe of these choral pieces? This music shares something in common with the metal music I like the most. It has that mighty and mysterious edge to it.

It's the pervasive use of the perfect fifth interval. Same as in metal power chords.

I'm deep into the metal scene, and I love so much music from history. The baroque stuff to me is metal as FUCK
