"Ma fin est mon commencement" is a rondeau composed by Guillaume de Machaut, a prominent composer and poet of the Medieval period. The poem's translated text reads, "My end is my beginning, and my beginning my end." The piece is notable for its musical complexity, with the second voice part being the reverse of the first part and the third being a palindrome. The reversed text and voice names might symbolize a look in a mirror that reflects a favorite image of Machaut. The piece is set in three voices and follows the typical form of a 14th-century rondeau, ABaAabAB.

The piece's significance lies in its spiritual meaning, which expresses a truth about life in this world and the next, with death being a gateway to life.
