The Works of Grimace

Other names: Grymace, Grimache

Grimace must have been a contemporary of Machaut, for his 5 works are free of the rhythmic complications of the `ars subtilior'. The style of the amorous texts and the musical form of the ballades also conform very closely to Machaut's.

A l'arme, a l'arme, sans sejour et sans demour Virelai
C'estoit ma douce nouriture Virelai
Dedens mon cuer est pourtrait' un' ymage Ballade
Des que, buisson, me fu boutez d'enfance Ballade
Je voy ennui Rondeau
Rescoés, rescoés horrible feu d'ardant desir; Rescoés le feu, le feu, le feu Virelai
Se Zephirus, Phebus et leur lignie; Se Jupiter, qui donna seigneurie Ballade
