modo proprio

note: music & text ed. Mancuso, 523-9, who attributes the poem to Pandolfini. Almost certainly a contrafactum of a carnival song, which MaceyB, 56-7 proposes to be Michele da Prato’s ‘Pescatori a lenza siamo’ (Canzona de’ pescatori); ed. SingletonCC, 386-9. However, the lauda ‘Alla morte horrenda’ is linked to two cc. sources, ‘Peccatori noi siamo Maria’ and the carnival song ‘Temporal fuor di natura’, an indication that Rz1563 may preserve the music not for the carnival song suggested by Macey, but for ‘Temporal fuor di natura’, the ‘Canzona degli uomini d’arme’ (text ed. SingletonCC, 21-2).
