music for the day

[cellio]

Thanks to woodwindy and someone who posted this under a lock for this lovely piece of Ars Subtilior music:



From the Chantilly Codex (Musée Condé MS 564), ca. 1350-1400: Baude Cordier's song "Belle, Bonne, Sage":

"Lovely, good, wise, gentle and noble one,
On this day that the year becomes new
I make you a gift of a new song
Within my heart, which presents itself to you."

I haven't tried playing it yet.
