Cantasi come - PetF/xi

Ben mi credea passar mio tempo omai Cz (ABCCBAaCcDdEE)

admin — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 20:56:45 +0000

Poet:

Petrarch

Language:

it-frot

Composer:

Trombon- cino

Lauda:

Ben mi credea, Jesù, sotto le fronde-a Cz (ABCCBAaCcDdEE)

Notes:

note: though the lauda is transmitted in Pal120 and R196 with a cc. of modo proprio, the poetic model is clearly Petrarch’s canzone, ‘Be mi credea passar mio tempo omai’, of which there is a musical setting by Tromboncino in PetF/xi, ed. LuisiFr, no. 7. Tromboncino’s cantus in this piece is unusually declamatory, more reciting tone than full-fledged melody.

Pace non trovo e non ho da far guerra Son:11 (abab abab cde cde)

Poet:

Petrarch

Language:

it-frot

Lauda:

Pace non trovo e vivo sempre in guerra 7:11 (abbaaba cdcddcd efeffef)

Lauda Poet:

Francesco d’Albizo

Notes:

note: FallowsCat, 552; CattinNR, 289. Music & text ed. EinsteinIM, iii, no.1 (discussed i, 125). Pix was contemporary in Florence with lauda sources, so was probably the setting d’Albizo had in mind given also the formal compatibility between Petrarch’s and d’Albizo’s texts. 4-part setting in PetF/xi (1514) by Eustachius Romanus, ed. LuisiFr, no. 10. In LA424, lauda sent to ‘Ser Matteo, prete in San Lorenzo’. Both settings use Petrarch’s sonnet, though Franco Sacchetti wrote a sonnet modeled on Petrarch’s, with an identical incipit & form, and addressed it to Filippo Villani; ed. AgenoFS, 435. For a discussion of Petrarch’s sonnet and its 16thc. musical settings, see J. Haar, ‘Pace non trovo’: A Study in Literary and Musical Parody, «Musica Disciplina» XX (1966), pp. 95-133.
