It was while Gilles de Binche, known as Binchois, occupied the function of first composer at the court of Philip the Good that a new golden age dawned for French songs. Employed at the court from around 1430, Binchois worked in the company of Nicolas Grenon, Pierre Fontaine and Richard de Bellengues, better known as Cardot. The music developed by these composers from the 1420s onwards, often entitled “chanson bourguinonne” by musicologists, is characterised by a simplification of the type of musical composition which, around 1400, had reached a summit of complexity, notably in terms of rhythm and notation. The new style, on the contrary, favoured the brief and repetitive form of the rondeau – organised in a few phrases of equal length, clearly delineated by cadences – as well as an elegant high vocal line, generally characterised by a conjunct melody and a smooth and regular rhythmic development, almost always compound and often dancelike.
