Early Music Michigan

Douce Dame Jolie: Christine de Pizan and Guillaume de Machaut in Dialogue

June 1, 2025 – 3 p.m.
First Congregational Church, Kalamazoo

Although women were certainly involved in all aspects of music-making throughout history, in some periods, such as the Middle Ages, there are few surviving pieces that we know were written by women. For this performance, we will present poetry by proto-feminist Christine de Pizan in dialogue with motets and chansons by the most important composer of the French Ars Nova, Guillaume de Machaut.
