Lauda Poet:
Serafino Razzi
Notes:
note: Nativity lauda. RostirollaB, 697-8. Text & music of Rz1563 ed. Mancuso, 441-3; facs. of Anim1577 in RostirollaTL, 29. Rz1563, transmits only the cantus part, and this is a contrafactum of Pesenti’s frottola, ‘Tu te lamenti a torto’ (the cc. given in RC395); the 8-measure setting of a sing quatrain is ed. in CesariLF, no. XLVII. There are vague similarities between the cantus melodies of the Roman (Anim1577,1583/3, 1589/2) and Razzi (a1) versions. Unrelated in text or music to Verdelot’s setting of Machiavelli’s canzona, ‘O dolce nocte’.
