Seven hundred years ago the great poet Dante Alighieri died. In the same precise years Ars Nova was born. Dante probably did not see Ars Nova music on paper, but he certainly listened to the polyphony of his time which was finding a new way to be written. In those years Philippe de Vitry and Johannes de Muris published their treatises on musical writing, which they call Ars Nova, a new way of writing music that will pave the way for a century of great musical creativity.
