Guillaume de Machaut, sometimes spelled Machault, (born about 1300 – died 1377), was an important Medieval French poet and composer.
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 15th century, Machaut’s poetry was greatly admired and imitated by other poets including the likes of Geoffrey Chaucer.
Machaut was and is the most celebrated composer of the 14th century (see Medieval music). He composed in a wide range of styles and forms and his output was enormous. He was also 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 to follow.

this is great music of the 'ars nova' era. IMHO medieval music is not "classical", couldn't be ...
