BaG4/10 (XYyX ABCBACCDdX)

Notes: 

note: JeppesenF, ii, 240 lists frottole with incipits ‘Occhi mei lassi poichè’ (Cara; PetF/iv), ‘Occhi mei lassi acompagnate’ (Ioannes Lulinus Venetus; PetF/xi; ed. LuisiFr, no. 59), and Petrarch’s ballata grande ‘Occhi mei lassi mentre [ch’io vi giro]’ (Tromboncino; 1517/3, PetF, 1510, Ve). See CattinNR, 253. Lincoln, 868 lists 9 works in 16thc. prints with this incipit, including settings by the Florentine composer Layolle (‘Occhi miei lassi mentre’), Arcadelt (‘Occhi miei lassi ch’io’), Cara, Tromboncino, and 3 from the later 16thc. Given the strong recourse of M365 to early 16thc. Florentine polyphony (esp. that of Arcadelt and Verdelot), a setting by Layolle or Arcadelt was most likely intended as the cc. Layolle’s setting is ed. in D’AcconeMFR/iv, no. 28; Arcadelt’s in SeayJA, i, no. 36.
