Gall4

note: carnival song--Canzona del gufo. Text ed. BruscagliTCC, i, 250; SingletonCC, 36. See GallicoRM, 50, where he links it to the music of ‘Jam pris amours’ on the basis of its citation in the quodlibet bearing that title in M164-7; see BeccheriniT, 82. Lauda in Gall4 bears heading ‘Lauda della canzone del gufo’, and bears rhyme scheme identical to Giambullari’s carnival song. Lauda probably by Giambullari, because of identity with his secular model, and proximity of the lauda in Gall4 to other laude by Giambullari.

note: On the interrelated complex of ‘Viva viva’ songs related to the Savonarolan carnival of 1496, see MaceyB, 61-73 (Giambullari’s ‘Vivi vivi in contrizione’ is not mentioned here, but it surely belongs to this complex of songs).

note: CattinCC,197; RostirollaB, 760.

note: see ‘Vieni a me’ as a laude with Serafino Aquilano’s ‘Amore io vo fuggendo’ as a cc. for information on Lorenzo’s lauda.

note: La Face/BianconiGS, 216; PrizerCP, 110; BoormanOP, 957. Music ed. La Face/BianconiGS, 342-4 (ModF.9.9), and PrizerCP, 502-4 (P676). Panc27 incipit = ‘Oyme’. Gall4 lists this lauda incipit and cc. title, but with a cross-reference to a text in Gall2 (p. 72) attr. to Belcari, with the incipit ‘Tutto se’ dolce, Iddio, Signore eterno’ (Str:11), and 2 stanzas drawn from Belcari’s Rappresentazione d’Abramo e Isacco (1449). It is quite likely that the two incipits refer to the same poem, as all (including the cc.) involve the same Str:11 form. Music attributed in Panc27 to ‘Marcetus’ (Marchetto Cara). Not to be confused with a frottola setting by Michele Pesenti of ‘Aime ch’io moro, aime ch’io ardo’ (PetF/iii).

note: PetL/i transmits 4vv. settings of both texts, both by Dammonis, with some melodic similarities between the two. Music ed.in LuisiLG, ii, 334-5 (‘Jesù fammi morire’), & 351 (‘Se vuo’ gustar l’amore’).

note: syllable count of the lauda is: 7/7/7/7 7/7/7/7/7/7/5/5/11/7, which is marginally compatible with Giambullari’s carnival song.

note: in LA424, sent to ‘frate Lorenzo de’ Ricci in Santa Maria Novella’.
