An educational programme featuring early music. Early polyphony: a short series on the development of the early polyphony, part 2.
In part one you could listen to music from Ars Antiqua. Today in part two we will continue with music of French Ars Nova and music from Trecento, sometimes called the Italian Ars Nova, and music from Ars Subtilior.
The era of Ars Nova started around 1320 and contained almost the entire fourteenth century. Important music renewals took place at the time.
