about

Composer: Phillippe de Vitry (early 14th century)
Latin title: Tuba sacre fidei/In arboris/Virgo sum

De Vitry may have written the musical treatise Ars nova rotandi, which helped usher in the radical new style. He was also a soldier, secretary, statesman, and eventually a bishop. He served in the courts of three French kings and at Avignon’s papal court in exile. The memorable title is from a text celebrating the Virgin Mary. She’s chilling on the uppermost branch while human vanities are consigned to lower limbs.
