Johannes Cuvelier

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

He also has four works in the Chantilly Codex: Se Galaas et le puissant Artus Onques Arthur, Alixandre et Paris Se Genevre, Tristan, Yssout, Helaine En la saison que toute riens encline
