Baude Cordier
Baude Cordier was a late medieval French composer and poet associated with the **ars subtilior** style, a highly intricate branch of late 14th–early 15th century French music known for its rhythmic and notational complexity. He’s best remembered for pushing musical notation into art-object territory—most famously with chansons like **“Belle, bonne, sage”** (written in a heart-shaped score) and **“Tout par compas suy composé”** (notated in a circular design), which have made him a standout figure in discussions of experimental music long before the modern era.
Very little is known with certainty about Cordier’s personal life, but his surviving works place him in the cultured courtly world of his time, where refined love poetry and virtuosic musical puzzles went hand in hand. Today, his music is most often heard through early-music ensembles and modern arrangements, and he remains a go-to name for anyone curious about the wild, brainy edge of medieval song.
