M164-7

note: HaarCM, 69-70, 96, 110. Festa a4 version in 1526/6, ed. PrizerLP, no.4; HaarCM, 229-34 (see also 245-6 for link to anon. setting of ‘Dite di non’). Setting a5 by F. de Layolle, Venticinque canzoni (Moderne,1540), ed. D’AcconeMFR, iii, 16-18. Cf. lauda in R196 ‘O alma, che diverse cose e tante’ w/ same rhyme scheme. There is also a strambotto by Serafino d’Aquila with the same incipit as the cc. (preserved in BML, Antinori 158, but with no extant music), but the Petrarchan settings remain the likely source for the cc. link. There are later settings of this text by Portinaro (1560), and A. Gabrieli (1587). For evidence of another possible setting of a strambotto with this incipit, see PrizerWC, 409-10; the text is preserved in BML, Antinori 158, and was reportedly brought from Rome to Florence by a Maria, ‘woman of Bianchino da Pisa’ by ca. 1505-8.

note: there are three settings (all 4-part) by Pisano, ed. D’AcconeMFR, i, nos. 15 (M164-7, PetG), 16 (M164-7,Bas2440, Q21, PetG), and 29 (Bas2440); text (a dialogue in ballata form) ed. xvi. There are also anonymous settings in Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Res. Mus. Vmd 32, and for 3 parts in Bas2440. See Fenlon/HaarIM, 139, 158, 175, 185.

note: Fenlon/HaarIM, 159 (concordant sources of Pisano’s setting). Petrarch’s inicipt is ‘Che debb’io far, che mi consigli, Amore?’. Music ed. in D’AcconeMFR, i, no.17 (M164-7). For other settings of poems with identical incipits (including one by Tromboncino in PetF/vii), see Lincoln, 839; and Fenlon/Haar, 142 (anon.), 176 (Tromboncino), and 189 (anon.).

note: CattinNR, 267; RubsamenLS, 35; HaarCM, 70, 96. Music ed. RubsamenLS, 66-8; SeayJA, vii, no. 6. Lincoln, 870-1 lists 5 settings in 16thc. prints attributed to: Arcadelt (1540/18, 1549/32), Lupacchino, Monte, Palestrina, & Spalenza, but Festa’s earlier setting in a Florentine source (M164-7; found also in Q21 & 1521/6) is the most likely cc. candidate.

note: See OsthoffT, i, 44-9, passim; GallicoRM, 114, 137; Carboni-ZiinoLM, 279; CattinNR, 255, 268. Text attr. to Poliziano in some soureces. Incipit in Florentine sources is ‘Vaghe le montanine’. Text ed. AgenoFS, 159-60. Printed also in 1526/5 as ‘O vage montanine’; this version ed. OsthoffT, ii, 38 (partial), 39 (w/lauda text ‘O vaghe di Jesù’, performed as part of the Rappresentazione di Santa Margherita), & in C. Morin, La frottola e l’armonia verticale nel Quattrocento, «Quadrivium», XV/1 (1974), pp. 158-9 . Ve melody ed. JeppesenF, iii, 103.

note: the poetic forms do not appear to be compatible.
