note: MaceyFS, 356 notes that Razzi recorded and used the cantus melody of Verdelot’s madrigal for four different laude in his autograph ms., Pal173. For an earlier and probably more complete use of Verdelot’s music, see its link to the lauda ‘Vergin gloriosa madre de’ peccatori.’ In Rz1609, Razzi used the cantus and tenor of Verdelot’s madrigal for two laude: ‘Le Vergin gloriose’ (possibly the same as the preceding text), and, ‘Questo dì glorioso.’
note: Fenlon/HaarIM, 141 (Verdelot), and 305 & 324 for two other anonymous, early settings; (Lincoln, 693 & 888, where he notes later settings by Marenzio & Lambertini). Music ed. OwensSM, xxx, 122-124.
