CortP

note: Music & text of Rz1563 ed. Mancuso, 549-52, though this is in fact derived from the 4-part setting of ‘Tambur, tambur’, with music in differing versions in M121, CortP, & BR337 (see as a cc. title). See BlackburnTCS, 134-8 (M121 version ed. 154--5; CortP ed. 156-7). ‘Tambur’ & ‘Oimè’ both function as a cc. for the lauda ‘E’ ll’ardera, l’abrucera’.

note: Carboni-ZiinoLM,282. Music & text of cc. ed. Mancuso, 549-55. See ‘Oimè’ as modo proprio. In Ferr84, alternate cc.= ‘Tambur, tambur’ (cancelled), with music for single part in BR337. The a2 music in Rz1563 for Landini’s text is, in fact, the music for the soprano and tenor parts of ‘Tambur, tambur’ as preserved in M121 (the a4 version in CortP differs in texture, though is based on the same borrowed popular melody); see BlackburnTCS,134-8 (M121 version ed. 154--5); this confirms the direct cc. link between ‘Tambur’ and ‘E’ll’ardera’ entered (though cancelled) in Ferr84.

note: Music & text ed. Mancuso, 549-52, though the music in Rz1563 is in fact derived from the 4-part setting of ‘Tambur, tambur’, with music in M121, CortP, & BR337 (see as a cc. title). ‘Tambur’ & ‘Oimè’ both function as a cc. for the lauda ‘E’ ll’ardera, l’abrucera’.

note: incipit ‘Dolce regina’ transmitted in Panc27; same music in Grey w/text ‘Ave dulcis, ave pia’, & PetL/ii w/text ‘Popule meus’ (ed. in JeppesenL, no.32 based on both sources). See CattinNF, 198. Lauda title recorded only in the index of R2224, and cc. link is tentative, though likely given that all the laude in this ms. were apparently intended for singing.

note: cc. = cited in tenor of quodlibet w/’Fortuna disperata’ in P (Paris, BNF, nouv. acq.fr. 1817, the tenor partbook of CortP; ed. GallicoRM, 61), and in M164-7 (ed. BecheriniT, 91 & JeppesenF, iii, 60). See D’AnconaPP, 478-9. Judging from the form of the lauda with which this cc. is most frequently paired (‘Chi non cerca’ & ‘Tua chiara stella’), the poetic form of ‘Chi guasta’ was probably 7:7/11 (AbAbAbC). CarboniE, 435 notes that this cc. title is the incipit of the 2nd stanza of ‘Quale esso fu lo malo cristiano’, a popular song cited by Boccaccio in Decameron iv, 5. The cc. poem is transmitted in Rome, Biblioteca Angelica 2435, 134, and BML, Ashb. 484, 167r, as well as in the 14thc. ms. BML, XLII.38, fol. 30v. The form of the cc. poem as transmitted in BML Ashburnham 484 (no. 113) is irregular in both line lengths and rhyme sequence, but the rhyme sequence abababc is discernible in much of the poem. For an ed. of the cc., and a discussion of its Neapolitan origins, see R. Coluccia, Tradizione auliche e popolari nella poesia del regno di Napoli in età angioina, «Medioevo Romanzo» II, 1975, 119-21.
