note: alternate cc. = ‘Ecco’l bambino’ (LCS161). Lucrezia’s lauda predates her death in 1482.

note: alternate cc. = ‘Che fai qui core’ (LCS161). Lucrezia’s lauda predates her death in 1482.

note: lauda re. S. Geronimo [Girolamo]. Rz1563 transmits 2 musical settings, both underlaid with text of ‘Ecco’l Messia’; ed. Mancuso, nos. 9-10. ‘Con umil core’ attr. to d’Albizo in Gall2, Belcari in R196, but probably d’Albizo’s by virtue of its inclusion in LA424. In LA424, lauda sent to ‘Fra Girolamo jhesuato’. Though the the lauda is attributed in some sources to Belcari, it appears in an authoritative d’Albizo source (LA424) and is not included in Belcari’s laudario (M690).

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: lack of cc. in Rs424, R2896 implies the modo proprio indication found in RC395. See CattinCC, 199-200, music (a3) ed. 220-222. Lauda also entered (w/out cc.) in Ferr84. ‘Miseremini mei’ = cc. for ‘O Jesù a’ tuo’ piedi’ (R2896). The music found in 1531/4 is in fact for a secular text (‘Miseremini mei...I’ son proprio la sciagura’) that CattinCC, 199 argues was the model for Castellani’s lauda, and form of which is more compatible with the lauda text than is the text of ‘Anima ingrata’.

note: alternate cc. for ‘Ave fonte’ = ‘Alma che sì gentile/sei per’; & ‘Ave fonte’ in turn is cc. for ‘Ave cella’ d’amore’.

note:d’Albizo’s lauda- ‘Lauda della epiphania de’ magi’; in LA424, lauda sent to ‘Lorenzo prete di Santo Tommaso’ (crossed out; added in same hand: ‘al Magnificho Lorenzo de’ Medici’). Magi festivals in Florence were closely associated with the Medici since the time of Cosimo.

note: lauda re. Nativity

note: Lauda ‘in onore della tavola di S. Maria in Pruneta...’
