RC395

note: RostirollaB, 709 (‘Jesù è nato’). The melody in Anim1563 is unrelated the ‘Ben venga’ melody found in Florentine sources.

note: alternate cc. in RC395 = Ben venga Maggio

note: alternate cc. = ‘Ecco’l signor’

note: lauda text & music ed. Mancuso, no. 18; the simple a2 setting and popular melody preserved in Rz1563 may be the original music for the secular text of the cc.

note: CattinCC, 206; CattinR, 25. Music & text ed. Mancuso, 648-54. Lines 1,3, & 8 of each stanza are in Latin, from the psalm ‘Plorans ploravit’, each forming a terzina that rhymes aax.

note: cc. for ‘Guidami tu’ = ballo; cc. text copied by Savonarola into Codex Borromeo. Cc. text entered in R2929, which was copied by 1448; also in Mgl. II.IX.58 (copied ca. 1415).

note: ‘Ecco’l signore’, ‘Ben venga Maggio’ & ‘Ben venga amore’ are each a cc. for ‘Suso alla mamma’, and cc. for ‘Ecco’l Re forte = ‘Ben venga Maggio’.
