Caritate amore Dei-a BaG4/6:8 (xyyx ababbx)

note: cc. = carnival song, Canto di lanzi pellegrini. Music ed. GallucciFFM, no.41, text in SingletonCC, 280-1. See BlackburnTCS, 133, where she notes that the reference in the carnival song text to Rome & the Jubilee suggests it was composed ca. 1500. In Rz1563 (ed. Mancuso, no. 38), only the superius agrees with the secular song preserved in the other sources, while the tenor appears to have been newly composed. M365 reads ‘estento’ for ‘stenti’. Rz1563 also transmits a different 3-part setting for the previous text in the print, ‘Spirit sian sempre gaudenti’, for which M365 also gives ‘Caritate amore Dei’ as a cc. The musico-poetic traditions are intertwined, however, for the rhyme schemes of the refrains of both laude (‘Povertà’ and ‘Spirti sian’) are identical.
