CS1548

note: cc. refers possibly to ‘Ave Maria stella matutina’ (BaG:11), transmitted in cc. sources like Gall4 that are more or less contemporary with CS1548. Another source may be the ‘Ave del ciel regina/e de’ celesti’ in 1600/5, with music by Michel’ Angelo Cancino; see RostirollaB, 683.

note: cc. has ‘aria propria’ in CS1548, & is a nativity lauda. Rubric in CS1548 reads: ’choro d’angioli, uno de quali responda ai pastori’.

note: RostirollaB, 686 (‘Cantiam tutti’), 704 (‘Giunt’ i pastori’). Part of a sequence of Nativity laude sung during a sacra rappresentazione; ‘La venuta de’ pastori per adorare il Messia: da rappresentarsi la notte della natività del Signore al presepio cantando sopra l’aria di diverse laudi, come ne’ luoghi opportuni saranno notate:’, CS1548, pp. 38-52. Lincoln, 748, where incipits include a rubric designating ‘Cantiam tutti’ as a ‘Lauda del Natale’. The music of ‘Giunt’ i pastor’ (the rubric for ‘Gloria, lode, et honore’) is attributed to Francisco Soto.

note: RostirollaB, 691. Dated 1611 in CS1548. Lincoln, 755, identifies it as a madrigal, despite its publication in Gardano’s Il quarto libro delle laudi (1591/3).

note: lauda re. S. Apollonia; cc. ‘per i Novizi’. Mancuso, 104 suggests that the text and melody of ‘Lo fraticello’ are modeled on ‘La pastorella si leva per tempo’, preserved in the mid-16thc. Florentine ms. M108. Text & music of cc. ed. Mancuso, no. 64.

note: lauda re. St. Catherine, virgin martyr. Cc. also called ‘Monica’; see NGD, ‘Monica’, on the history of this Renaissance folksong.

note: lauda re. S. Bastiano

note: cc. has ‘aria propria’ in CS1548; music is transmitted in BNF, Mgl.XIX.138, fols. 4v-5r, an early 17thc. collection of “laudi, arie e danze intavolate per cembalo’ (BecheriniCat, 59).
