note: alternate cc. = ‘Purità Dio ti mantenga’, ‘Galantina amorosina’

note: RostirollaB, 716 (‘Laudate Dio’). Version in the Roman sources is an arrangement by Animuccia of the traditional Carnival song melody and Florentine lauda text; facs. in RostirollaTL, 34.

note: carnival song for May Day. Source for poem relates ‘Canzone d’Angelo Politiano di maggio; la quale s’aveva a chantare per donne nell’entrare de giostranti in campo: e coronandogli per loro amore giostravano’ (ed. MaceyS, 227). MaceyB, 57, 125f; LuisiBV, passim; CattinS, 270-1; CattinRP, 384-5; RostirollaB, 685. On the melodic tradition of ‘Ben venga Maggio’, esp. its relationshi[ to the ‘Tentalora’ melody; see LuisiT and LuisiCB. In Rz1563 w/text ‘Ecco’l Messia’; Pal173 w/’Ecco la stella’, and RC395 w/’Ecco’l signore’. Music ed. GallucciFFM, 1; MaceyS, 61-5 (w/alternate texts, ‘Ecco’l Messia’ & ‘Che fai qui core’); ed. and discussed in PerkinsMAR, 416-18. Osthoff, i, 153 fits Poliziano’s text to a2 music of ‘Ecco’l Messia’ in Rz1563. Cantus transmitted in Savonarola’s biographies (BML, San Marco 429 & BS Lucca 2415). Cf. Savonarolan laude ‘Che fai qui core’ & ‘Ecce quam bonum’, as well as many other lauda texts by Lucrezia Tornabuoni and others that draw on the music of ‘Ben venga Maggio’.

note: alternate cc. = ‘Purità Dio ti mantenga’ (Gall2, Rs424). Song reconstructed from T of Cornago Mass of same name in GerberC, further reconstructed by AtlasAV, 109-20 (w/full discussion and fuller recovery of the cc. text). Melody also ed. in JeppesenF, iii, 128. The original poem and its melody were known at the Neapolitan court by ca. 1453.

note: alternate cc. = ‘Leggiadra damigella’

note: alternate cc. or ‘Dolce Maria’ = ‘Leggiadra diva, e mi convien perire’ (Rs424). Lauda reads ‘O dolce Maria’ in Rs424.

note: FallowsCat, 508; Diederichs, 90-99. Alternate cc. for ‘Tu che poi’ = ‘La vita della sgalera’ (Gall2). Lauda re. San Lorenzo. The differing versions of the music for ‘Con desiderio’ ed.: LuisiLG, ii, 28-35 (BU, Grey, Panc27, M18); CattinG, no.5 (Grey; w/notes on p. xviii); Diederichs, 296-303 (M18 facs., BU & Panc27). See WilsonMM, 172, 280-1 (BU). A different a3 setting of ‘Con desiderio’ (found in Cord w/lauda text ‘Ben lo sa Dio’ & ed. in ThibaultM, 4-5; see FallowsCat, 504-5) is related to the identical versions in Grey (ed. CattinG, no.22) & Panc27 (LuisiLG, ii, 32 & Diederichs, 302). Text of ‘Con desiderio’ ed. LuisiLG, i, 292-3. Cc. text entered in R2929, which was copied by 1448, and Mgl II.IX.58, copied by ca. 1415.

note: Belcari closely modeled his lauda on ‘Ben lo sa Dio’, employing identical rhyme scheme and words.

note: VB3711 bears no cc., but the rubric ‘fece Feo Belchari et madolla ad papa Pagolo Sicondo [1464-71]’; two surviving letters by Belcari dated Sept. 9, 1467 and July 1 1468 record his efforts to send his lauda ‘de’ fructi della carità’ (the rubric for ‘Chi se veste’) to this pope through his longtime friend Piero dell’Orto, the bishop of Massa Marittima; see FigliouoloT, 269-70. On the cc., see FallowsCat, 504-5; GallicoRM, 54; CattinNR, 274; ZiinoNF, 237-9 (fragment). Music ed. Kottick, CMM42 & ThibaultM, 4 (Cord); CattinG, no.22 with text ‘Cum desiderio io vo cercando’ (Grey); LuisiLG, ii, 32 & Diederichs, 302 (Panc27, also w/text ‘Cum desiderio’). Grey & Panc27 versions (w/lauda texts) based on D & T of Cord. Older version a2 in AT A.5, which presumably forms the basis of the Cord version. On AT A.5, see ZiinoNF (facsimile pl. 3, partial transcription 245). 1513/1 melody (a citation within the context of a barzelletta, ‘Se mia trista e dura sorte’, set to music by Niccolò Brocco) ed. JeppesenF, iii, 53, and compared to the Cord melody in ThibaultM, lxxvi. Different cc. in Gall1 (‘O lasso me’) & M690 (‘Si fortemente son tracto’).
