Grimace

Other names: Grymace, Grimache

Grimace must have been a contemporary of Machaut, for his 5 works are free of the rhythmic complications of the `ars subtilior'. The style of the amorous texts and the musical form of the ballades also conform very closely to Machaut's.

Works (7)

  1. A l'arme, a l'arme, sans sejour et sans demour virelai
  2. C'estoit ma douce nouriture virelai
  3. Dedens mon cuer est pourtrait' un' ymage ballade
  4. Des que, buisson, me fu boutez d'enfance ballade
  5. Je voy ennui rondeau
  6. Rescoés, rescoés horrible feu d'ardant desir; Rescoés le feu, le feu, le feu virelai
  7. Se Zephirus, Phebus et leur lignie; Se Jupiter, qui donna seigneurie ballade
