text: # Guillaume Veau
  
  Guillaume Veau was a thirteenth-century French trouvère. Three chansons courtoises are attributed to him in the Vatican manuscript Reg.lat.1490:
  
  * J'ai amé trestout mon vivant
  * Meudre achoison n'euc onques de chanter
  * S'amours loiaus m'a fait soufrir
  
  The first two of these are unica, that is, they appear in no other source. They both end on a note other than the tonal centre of the first four phrases. The "moderately florid" melodies of all three are written in bar form.
