Ecco’l Messia-a BaMn:7/5 (xX ABABBX)

note: MaceyB, 125-9. The cc. for ‘Ecco il Messia’ is ‘Ben venga Maggio’ (see above). Music ed. w/Lucrezia’s text in MaceyS, 62. Rz1563 transmits a 2- & 3-part version (both w/Lucrezia’s text; both ed. Mancuso, 320-29) followed by the texts of 4 other laude. RC395 transmits a 2-part version similar to, but more reliable than Razzi’s (ed. MaceyS, 83-5), with the text ‘Ecco’l Signore’. The 2-part version in RC395 is closest to later versions perpetuated in the context of a series of Savonarolan ‘Ecce quam bonum’ motets; see MaceyB, 124-9 & Ch. 7. Lauda attr. to Belcari in Rz1563, & to d’Albizo in Gall2.
