formes fixes (sh)




Principal forms of Music and poetry in 14th-and 15th-century France.

Three forms predominated. The rondeau followed the pattern ABaAabAB; A (a) and B (b) represent repeated musical phrases; capital letters indicate repetition of text in a refrain, while lowercase letters indicate new text. The ballade employed the pattern aabC. The virelai used the pattern AbbaA. The trouvere Adam de la Halle (b. งใ 1250) wrote the first polyphonic settings of the formes fixes. Guillaume de Machaut wrote both text and Music for many monophonic and polyphonic chansons in the formes fixes. Later composers, including Guillaume Dufay, favoured the rondeau.
