Lauda: 

Dalla più alta stella disces’in terra-a 7:7/11 (aBcBccA)

Lauda Poet: 

Lorenzo de’ Medici?

Notes: 

note: cc = carnival song, ‘Trionfo della dea Minerva’. Text ed. SingletonCC, 213-14. Music ed. GallucciFFM, 14-15. See also MaceyB, 56-7. M310 & Gall4 list both lauda and cc as ‘Dalla più alta stella’. Lauda attr. to Lorenzo in the cc. sources, but excluded from Toscani’s edition. Cc. text once attr. to Poliziano; CattinNR, 260; CattinRP, 391. PrizerM, 29 suggests a date of ca. 1492 for the carnival song, which celebrates Giovanni de’ Medici’s cardinal’s hat, and very likely his subsequent grand entrance into Florence from Fiesole in March, 1492.
