after 1360 – Guillaume de Machaut motet No. 21 "Plange, regni respublica / Tu qui gregem tuum ducis / Apprehende arma et scutum et exurge"
1369 – Johannes Vaillant's double-texted (ballade) for three voices, Dame doucement trait / Doulz amis de cuer parfait, was copied in Paris (compilatum fuit parisius) into the Chantilly Codex (fol. 26v), and thus likely was composed in that year.[6]
