ars subtilior

Arz Soob-TEE-lee-or

[Latin, more subtle art]

The term used to describe the musical style of the late 14th century, specifically that of French composers such as Johannes CuvelierPhilippus de Caserta, and Jacob de Senleches, who lived after Guillaume de Machaut. These composers refined the notational features of the ars nova period to produce a more sophisticated and more rhythmically complex style.
