Baude Cordier (* before 1364 in Reims , † before 1400 in Dijon ) was a French composer and harpist of the early Renaissance.

Life

It is assumed that his real name was Baude Fresnel and Baude Cordier was his stage name (French: cordier = tailpiece; string player), he is occasionally mentioned as Baude de Rhains (Reims). Baude Cordier probably worked first in his native Reims and later at the court of the Burgundian Duke Philip the Bold . He accompanied him on trips to Avignon and Milan .

In the “Civico Museo Bibliografico Musicale” in Bologna there is a manuscript of a “Gloria”. Seven of his “Rondeaux” are kept in the “Oxford Bodleian Library”. In terms of music history, he can be classified between the Ars nova around Guillaume de Machaut and the Franco-Flemish composer Guillaume Dufay , and he used a style of music known as Ars subtilior .

Works

Ten three- to four-part chansons from the Chantily Codex (facsimile published in Turnhout in 2008) and a fragment of a three-part mass have been preserved of his works. His rondeaux, such as B. " Tant plus vous voy, tant plus me semblés belle " or " Amans amés secretement" follow the compositional scheme of the late 14th century. Cordier's love song "Belle, Bonne, Sage" is one of the most beautiful examples of eye music .
