RC395

note: RostirollaB, 684-5. Music ed. in CattinG, 17 (Grey) and LuisiLG, ii, 19-23 (Grey, Anim1563); Giustinian text ed. LuisiLG, i, 300-01 (‘Benedecto ne sia el zorno’); 303-4 (‘Benedeto sia lo zorno’). Animuccia text varies. Probably modeled on Petrarch’s ‘Benedetto sia l’giorno e ‘l mese e l’anno’ (who was overturning Cecco Angiolieri’s ‘Maladecta sie l’ore ‘l punto; c.1260-1313). The ‘Benedetta sia l’ora’ attr. to Bianco da Siena in Gall3 (‘Benedetta sia l’ora/l’anno, el dì, el mese/che tu fusti annunziata’) does not match the rhyme scheme of Giustinian’s lauda. On the ‘Sia benedetto’ complex of poems, see also D’AnconaPP, 238. Rome, Biblioteca Angelica Ms. 2435, p. 6 transmits a ‘Benedetto sia quel giorno/ch’io vidi gli occhi belli’ that corresponds to the BaG:8 form of the lauda. Cc. text (‘Benedetto ne sia lo g[i]orno’) entered in R2929, which was copied by 1448.

note: lauda incipit = ‘Salve del ciel regina Maria’. Brief setting a4 in RC395, fol.3v w/text ‘Salve vergin’ Maria diana stella, piu ch’altra donna bella et gloriosa’.

note: Rz1563 transmits music for both ‘Da che tu’ (a2, which differs from Dammonis’ setting a4 in PetL/i; see ‘Da che tu-a’) and ‘Deh dolce redentor Jesù soccori a me’ (by Lorenzo Tornabuoni), though given the mixed 7- & 11-syllable lines of the latter, this is probably a different lauda from Tornabuoni’s ‘Deh dolce redentor’ in RC395.

note: RC395 lauda title = ‘Non por punto l’amore, anima mia’

note: alternate cc = ‘Jerusalem letare’

note: Carboni-ZiinoLM, 281, and Ferr84 & Rz1563 melodies ed. 325-6; Rz1563 version ed. Mancuso, 311-19. See ‘Dimmi’ as a cc. for many other laude.

note: lauda text illegible in RC395, 87v.
