Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1361723).Baude Cordier's "Belle, Bonne, Sage" is a significant piece of music from the 14th century. It is a rondeau, a form of medieval music. It is considered an example of "eye music" or "augenmusik," where the visual representation of the music is as vital as its auditory aspect. The composition is known for its unique visual presentation, as the notes are arranged in the shape of a heart, and the red notes indicate a triple feel. In contrast, the black notes indicate a duple-feel, an early example of hemiola in Western art music. Baude Cordier was a composer from Reims, and very little is known about his life. The piece is part of the Chantilly Codex, a collection of medieval musical scores. It is considered a prime example of the ars subtilior style, a musical style of Southern France and Northern Spain that included rhythmic and notational complexity. The relationship between the visual and auditory aspects of the piece is considered necessary, and the composition is known for its unique visual representation, with the notes arranged in a heart shape.
