Johannes Cuvelier (fl c. 1372–d. after 1387) was a composer of the ars subtilior, whose surviving works are preserved in the Chantilly Codex.[1] He was possibly born in Tournai and worked at the court of Charles V.[2][3]

  • Onques Arthur, Alixandre et Paris
  • Se Genevre, Tristan, Yssout, Helaine
  • En la saison que toute riens encline
