The fourteenth century did not decrease the focus on secular music; rather, it marked a significant expansion of secular musical forms and styles. This period, particularly in the context of the Ars Nova movement in France, saw the rise of secular genres such as the chanson and motet, which allowed for greater expression and innovation. Composers began to explore complex rhythms and harmonies, emphasizing secular themes alongside sacred music. Thus, the fourteenth century can be viewed as a vibrant time for the development of secular music.
