Nova ARSArs nova, meaning "new art" in Latin, is a musical style that emerged during the Late Middle Ages, primarily in the Kingdom of France, from the 1310s until the death of composer Guillaume de Machaut in 1377. It marks a significant evolution in the complexity of polyphonic music, characterized by innovations in musical notation and the introduction of new techniques, leading to greater expressiveness and variety compared to earlier music styles. Key figures include Machaut and Philippe de Vitry, and while it primarily refers to music of the fourteenth century, the term sometimes encompasses other contemporary European music.
