Dai dolci camp’Elisi Mad (ABBbCDdCCEE)

note: M365 incipit = ‘Da’ dolci campi Elisei’. Lincoln, 31; EinsteinIM, i, 160, where Einstein prints the text of the madrigal, and assigns the madrigals of Arcadelt’s third book to his years in Florence (c. 1532-7?). See also Fenlon/HaarIM, 151 (concordant sources), and 62, where it is suggested that this madrigal may have been a part of the theatrical music for a performance of Lorenzino de’ Medici’s L’Aridosio at the wedding festivities for Alessandro de’ Medici in 1536. Music ed. SeayJA, iii, no. 17.
