Guillaume de Machaut was a prominent 14th-century French composer and poet, known for his significant contributions to the development of polyphonic music. His works often feature intricate textures, blending multiple melodic lines to create a rich tapestry of sound. Machaut utilized varying textures, such as homophony and polyphony, to enhance emotional expression and to highlight the interplay between voices. This innovative use of texture helped to shape the musical landscape of the medieval period and laid the groundwork for future developments in Western music.

In Guillaume de Machaut's "Puis qu'en oubli," the majority of the song features a combination of voices, typically sung in a three-part texture. The piece predominantly utilizes a tenor, contratenor, and a third voice, often referred to as the cantus or the upper voice, creating a rich polyphonic sound. The interplay between these vocal lines showcases the intricate harmonies and lyrical beauty characteristic of Machaut's style.
