Gall4

note: GhisiCC, 90 lists both as travestimenti spirituali of the probable carnival song, ‘Agli uccelli, donne’.

note: cc incipit in Gall4 = ‘Neu so’

note: CattinCC, 194; MaceyB, 55; MaceyNC, 150-2; RostirollaB, 724. Gall4 cc = ‘Franza è Franza’. Carnival song, the ’Canto di Fransegi’; text ed. SingletonCC, 12-13. Alternate cc. = ‘Ogni giorno tu mi di’, for which Rz1563 transmits music. Lauda re. Passion/crucifixion. Related laude that might have been sung to the same cc. are ‘Non fu mai più bel sollazzo’ (G. Benivieni) & ‘Non fu mai più bel convito’ (M365). Music (Rz1563) ed. Mancuso, 493-6; MaceyS, 42-4 with texts of ‘Non fu mai...dolce amor’, Benivieni’s ‘Non fu mai el più bel solazzo’, & ‘Franza, Franza’.

note: GhisiCC, 96 lists this pair of titles among his carnival songs with spiritual travestimenti.

note: in LA424, ‘mandata a Messer Lorenzo, prete in Santo Tommaso’.

note: Gall4 rubric = ‘fatta sopra la canzona, ch’ andó el dì di Berlingaccio’. See modo proprio for ‘Molto più guerra’ (Rz1563), which preserves the original music for the carnival song text. MaceyNC,152-3 has shown that the carnival song to which the cc. title refers (‘Berlingaccio’ is the last Thursday of carnival) is probably Giovan Francesco del Bianco’s ‘Pace, guerra, guerra e pace’, which makes use of identical form and rhyme words (including the same, unusual sequence of 7,8, and 11 syllable lines: 8/8/8/11 11/11/7/8/7/7/7/11); del Bianco’s text is ed. in SingletonCC, 231-2, where it is titled ‘Canzona degli amatori di pace’. The 4-part setting in Rz1563 (ed. Mancuso, 287-96) was thus probably associated originally with del Bianco’s carnival song. CattinCC, 207 notes that Castellani’s lauda with similar title, ‘Guerra e pace, pace e guerra’, uses the same metric scheme as del Bianco’s carnival song.

note: in LA424, sent to Maffeo Gherardini.

note: in LA424, lauda sent to ‘Luca di Bartolomeo Rinieri’ (also the recipient of another lauda in LA424 without cc., ‘Chi si veste di vano’).
