Ars Subtilior

Ars subtilior is a musical style that emerged in the late 14th century in France and Italy. It is characterized by its complex and intricate rhythms and melodies, which were often written in a highly stylized notation. Ars subtilior compositions were considered highly sophisticated and were often performed at courtly events. The style fell out of favor in the early 15th century but has since been rediscovered and appreciated by modern audiences.
