Medieval Composed Listening Journal: Franco of Cologne

The composer I am looking at is Franco of Cologne and his style of composing. He was primarily a music theorist, but he was also a composer. Franconian notation was developed from his writings, resulting in the basic shapes for notes, and enhanced the possibilities for compositions to come. The idea of Franconian notation itself is that a note should be held for a certain duration based on how it is written on a page, not based on context. Franco even has a motet named after him, the Franconian Motet. An example of a Franconian Motet would be Amours mi font.
