Ars Antiqua is an ancient art medieval Latin. Ars Antiqua is an era of French music events in the 13th century. The characteristic of music is that the complexity of alignment (a combination of art of the same part) is increasing. Modern music historians categorized the entire 13th century as Ars Anticure, old historians classify the second half of the 13th century as Ars Anticure. This is the period when music starts to become more formal. In the meantime, the popularity of musicals has increased, and the opera was screened first in 1283.
Most of the music of Ars Antiqua era was anonymous. Two important people stand out in anonymity.
