O vaga damigella, o signor mio BaMz (XyX AbAbbcX)?

Leonardo Giustinian?

Language:

Lauda:

Assunta in cielo, madre di Dio-b
BaMz3/8: (XyX AbAcbCdX)

Lauda Poet:

Filippo di Lorenzo
Bencivieni?

Notes:

note: cc. is probably a corruption of Giustinian’s widespread ‘Leggiadra damigella’ (see this cc. title for notes), and Ch266 elsewhere transmits the lauda title ‘Assunta in [cielo?] madre di Dio’, with ‘Leggiadra damigella’ as a cc., an indication that ‘O vaga damigella’ & ‘Leggiadra damigella’ probably refer to the same poem, as do both versions of the ‘Assunta’ incipit.

O rosa bella o dolce anima mia-b BaMn:11 (xx ababbx)

Poet:

Leonardo Giustinian

Language:

Composer:

Johannes Ciconia

Lauda:

O sacra stella vergine, umile, e pia BaMn:11 (xx ababbx)

Notes:

note: FallowsCat, 545-50. Music ed. PMFC24, no.34 (PC); DTO15, 227 & ClercxC, ii, no.15. FallowsLG, 251-4 argues persuasively for Giustinian’s authorship of ‘O rosa bella’, which must have been set by Ciconia prior to the latter’s death in 1412. Though the Ch266 cc. incipit could refer to the Bedyngham [?] setting, the inclusion in Ch266 of his ‘Con lagrime bagnandome’ and ‘Dolce fortuna’ as cc. titles, suggests that Ciconia’s ‘O rosa’ is the intended model. The cc. title appears in Simone Prodenzani’s Il Saporecto (ca. 1415), sonnet 35; see CilibertiP, 23-34, and NàdasCR.

O rosa bella o dolce anima mia-a BaMn:11 (xx ababbx)

Poet:

Leonardo Giustinian

Language:

Composer:

Ciconia or Bedyngham/Dunstable

Lauda:

O diva stella o vergine Maria
BaMn:11 (xx ababbx)

Notes:

note: see FallowsCat, 545-50; CarboniE, 447-8. Due to late 15th. date of cc. sources, this cc. (vs. Ch266 for ‘O sacra stella’) may refer to the more famous and widely diffused Bedyngham/Dunstable setting, w/music in several Florentine sources (BerK, Pix, RU1411; see FallowsCat, 545f., for a complete list of sources). However, the fact that this lauda is directly modeled upon an older one, ‘O sacra stella’, in Ch266, with an ‘O rosa bella’ cc. rubric that must refer to Ciconia’s music, suggests that his music continued to serve both laude throughout the 15thc. Bedyngham/Dunstable music ed. in LuisiLG, ii, 248-54 (EscB, Pav362, Per431, where both texts are underlaid; PopeM, 310 (MC); ThibaultM, 13 (Cord), HanenE, no.29a (EscB); facs. in LuisiLG, ii, plates xix-xxix (Pix, EscB, SevP, Cord, Porto, Per431). See also FallowsOR for his argument in favor of Bedyngham as composer of the later musical setting. For bibliographic information on Ciconia’s setting, see the lauda ‘O sacra stella’ (cc. ‘O rosa bella’). The cc. title appears in Simone Prodenzani’s Il Saporecto (ca. 1415), sonnet 35; see CilibertiP, 23-34, and NàdasCR.
