List of compositions by Guillaume de Machaut

List of compositions by Guillaume de Machaut

The following is a list of the complete musical works of Guillaume de Machaut. Machaut was the first composer to concentrate on self-anthologization of his works, supervising the creation of three complete-works manuscripts during his life. In the last manuscript, written c. 1370, the scribe wrote "Vesci l'ordinance que G. de Machau wet qu'il ait en son livre" (Here is the order that G. de Machaut wants his book to have). [ Lawrence Earp, "Machaut's Role in the Production of Manuscripts of His Works," "Journal of the American Musicological Society" 42:3 (Fall 1989), 461.]

Machaut's works, like those of Johann Sebastian Bach and Joseph Haydn, are foremost organized by genre. The numbering scheme does not represent chronology, especially since few of Machaut's works can be reliably dated. Rather, they represent the order taken from the original manuscript. Furthermore, as many titles are merely the first lines, pieces may be referred to by slightly different titles (for example, R20 is known both as "Douce dame" and "Douce dame tant qui vivray"). However, the number given to any particular piece is fixed.

Alternate cataloging

The works from "Le Remède de Fortune" have presented a problem for modern-day collections, as they appeared in the manuscript in the poem, not with other works of its genre. Thus, occasionally "Le Remède de Fortune" works are given their own category and catalogued according to the order of their appearance:

RF1 "Qui n'aroit autre deport" (Lai)
RF2 "Tels rit au main" (Complainte)
RF3 "Joie, plaisence" (Chanson Royale)
RF4 "En amer a douce vie" (Balladele)
RF5 "Dame, de qui toute ma joie" (Ballade)
RF6 "Dame, a vous sans retollier" (Chanson Baladée)
RF7 "Dame, mon cuer" (Rondeau)
