Most of the compositions in the Chantilly Codex date from c. 1350–1400. There are 112 pieces total, mostly by French composers, and all of thempolyphonic. The codex contains examples of many of the most popular courtly dance styles of its time, such asballades,rondeaus,virelais, andisorhythmicmotets. Some of the motets arerhythmically extremely complex, and are written in intricately exactmusical notation. Two pieces byBaude Cordier were added at a slightly later date at the front of the manuscript, and use unusual shapes to reflect their musical contents. The piece "Belle, Bonne, Sage, Plaisant" (image right) was written to a special lady for the New Year, and reflects the shape of the notation with the text (Lovely, good, wise, and pleasant).[2] The graphic layout of the notation is a play on words on the "Cor" ("heart") in "Cordier".[3]
The majority of the 112 pieces are found in Willi Apel, ed.,French Secular Compositions of the Fourteenth Century (American Institute of Musicology, 1970)[4]
