La città bella e conforme a natura BaG (XyyX AbAbbccX)

note: Carnival song (mascherata). CattinR, 15; CattinNR, 257. R196 gives ‘verso de’ calicioni’ as cc., but Cattin argues convincingly that this must be the Carnival song, the ‘Canzona de’ Giudei’, which matches the poetic and rhyme scheme of the lauda, and mentions ‘calicioni’ in the first strophe. Music ed. D’AcconeMFR, ii, no. 7, and GallucciFFM, no. 24; text ed. SingletonCC, 293-4. Lauda incipit very similar to ‘Vergine santa immaculata e pia’ w/cc ‘Madre che festi’ (R1502). Alternate cc. incipit = ‘La ciptà bella’.
