Guillaume Veau was a thirteenth-century French trouvère.[1] Three chansons courtoises are attributed to him in the Vatican manuscript Reg.lat.1490:[2]
- J'ai amé trestout mon vivant[1]
- Meudre achoison n'euc onques de chanter[1]
- S'amours loiaus m'a fait soufrir[1]
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.[1]
Nothing else is known about Veau.[1]
