Notes: 

note: See CattinSq, 251; WilsonSC, 75; Diederichs, 72. Music ed. in PMFC4, no.47; music & both texts ed. Diederichs, 294-5. The lauda text has some irregular line lengths and is probably corrupt as transmitted in Ch266.

Ecce quam bonum [et quam jocundum] [BaMz3/5:7/5 (xxX ABABBX)

Poet: 

Luca Bettini

Language: 

lat

Lauda: 

Jesù è nato...figliuol di Dio-b
BaMz3/5:7/5 (xxX ABABBX)

Notes: 

note: the ultimate musical source for both poems is ‘Ben venga Maggio,’ but it interesting here to see Bettini’s very savonarolan text having absorbed this music of the secular carnival song to the extent that Bettini’s text can function as a cc. title. For more on ‘Ecce quam bonum,’ see this title as a lauda with cc. = ‘Ecco’l Messia.’

È levomi d’una bella mattina/alla stella diana

Language: 

it

Lauda: 

Andiamo ad Jesù Cristo-b
Qr:7 (abab cdcd...)

Lauda Poet: 

Feo Belcari

Notes: 

note: GallicoRM, 80, 202; PirrottaMT, 99-101; D’AnconaPP, 485-6. ‘È levomi una bella matina’ survives as a four-part frottola setting in Ve; ed. LuisiAp, NosowB, and excerpt ed. in PirrottaMT, 100-01. This probably is not the Florentine cc. musical source. Cc. incipit may be related to Catalan song ‘M’y levay par ung matin’ (verse, with refrain ‘Dindiridin’; see this title as a cc.). See complex of loosely related melodies in JeppesenF, iii, 27-31, & discussion in BrownM, 261 & LuisiAp, lxxv-lxxix. For two later settings of ‘M’y levay par ung matin’ by Guyard & Janequin, see BrownTC, 157-63. Lacking attribution to Belcari in Gall3.

È grande la bellezza BaG:8?

Language: 

it

Lauda: 

Stilla il cielo rugiada e manna
BaG4/6:8

Notes: 

note: the cc. title possibly alludes to Lorenzo de’ Medici’s lauda ‘Quant’è grande la bellezza’. ‘Stilla’ = stella?.

Donne, siam, come vedete BaMn:8 (xx ababbx)

Poet: 

Lorenzo de’

Language:

Composer: 

[I. Dam- monis]

Lauda: 

Io son quel misero ingrato
BaMn:8 (xx ababbx)

Lauda Poet: 

Lorenzo de’ Medici

Notes: 

note: carnival song--’Canzona delle Cicale’ (= cc. title in Gall3). BruscagliTCC, i, 21; OrvietoCC, 78-9 (ca. 1474-78). SingletonCC,117, transmits a different, anonymous ‘Canzone delle Cicale’, w/ the incipit ‘Fuor cicale in malora, fuor cicale!’, which does not formally match Lorenzo’s lauda text. 4vv. setting of lauda text in PetL/i (Dammonis), ed. in LuisiLG, ii, 336. Lorenzo’s lauda ed. in ToscaniL, 95-8, and in DucciniL, 195-202, with extensive commentary.

Donne per electione-e BaG (XyyX AbAbbccX)

Poet: 

Jacopo da Bientina

Language: 

it-carn

Composer: 

Bartolomeo
degli Organi

Lauda: 

S’ i’ pensassi Jesù al dolce amore
BaMz (XyX ABAbBcX)

Notes: 

note: Rz1563 transmits the music of ‘Donne per electione’ but the widely-diffused Belcari lauda text ‘S’ i’ pensassi a’ piacer del paradiso’, which suggests that the lauda text in M365 was modeled upon Belcari’s.

Notes: 

note: carnival song--’Canzona de’ granaiuoli’, ‘Donne gentil di gran siam mercatanti’; SingletonCC, 228 & SingletonNCC, no.162; music in BR230, 151r (incomplete). CattinNR, 262. GhisiCC, 97 also lists Belcari’s ‘Udite matta pazzia’ (Ba2/4:8) as a travestimento spirituale of ‘Donne gentil’, but it is not a good match formally.

Notes: 

note: CattinCC, 208; CattinNR, 260. Lauda transmitted as modo proprio in R196, but form and rhyme correspond perfectly to Guglielmo’s ‘Canzona di donne che vendono agresto’, ‘Donne galanti’, which is preserved in BR230 w/A & B parts, and text beginning at v. 1 of 4th stanza: ‘Chi usa con duo man’. Text ed. SingletonCC, 272-3.
