|Body=A chanson (UK: /ˈʃɒ̃sɒ̃/,[1] US: /ʃɑːnˈsɔːn/,[2] French: [ʃɑ̃sɔ̃] (About this soundlisten); lit. 'song') is generally any lyric-driven French song, though it most often refers to the polyphonic French song of late medieval and Renaissance music.[3][4][5] The genre had origins in the monophonic songs of troubadours and trouvères, though the only polyphonic precedents were 16 works by Adam de la Halle and one by Jehan de Lescurel.[6] Not until the ars nova composer Guillaume de Machaut did any composer write a significant amount of polyphonic chansons.[6] | |Body=A chanson (UK: /ˈʃɒ̃sɒ̃/,[1] US: /ʃɑːnˈsɔːn/,[2] French: [ʃɑ̃sɔ̃] (About this soundlisten); lit.
