Mors sui, se je ne vous voy (I die if I do not see you)… The intensity of courtly love in the fourteenth century—marked by forbidden relationships and unreciprocated devotion—is vividly captured in the works of Guillaume de Machaut. His popularity persisted across Europe, especially in Italy, even after his death. Parlamento’s program highlights Machaut’s influence on later Italian composers like Johannes Ciconia and Anthonello da Caserta, using instruments such as the lute, flute, vielle, voice and percussion, to express the timeless beauty of medieval poetry.
