note: see CattinR, no.95. Alternate cc. = ‘La pueril bellezza’, ‘Più bel viso che’l sole’ (all 3 in M690 & R196). Lauda differs from ‘O peccatore ingrato contempla’ (R2896), & three laude with a similar incipit in Ch266.

note: in LA424, ‘mandata a Cristofano ottonaio’; this is the lauda poet and singer Cristofano da Miniato, a brassworker who whose first recorded activity is as a singer for the Company of San Zanobi in 1456. He wrote two extant laude with cc. links: ‘Vergine alta Regina’ and ‘Vergine santa immaculata e pura’; see WilsonMM, 176; WilsonHM, 291.

note: CattinR, 32; CattinCI, 419. LA424: ‘cantasi come mosir placer, mandata alle monache delle murate’. The Murate was a wealthy Benedictine convent, criticized by Savonarola for their cultivation of figural music; see MaceyB, 95-6. The association of this lauda and its secular polyphonic cc. link appears to confirm Savonarola’s appraisal.

note: rubric in CS1544 = ‘Questa lauda ...fece gherardo d’astore gini che stette in biadia di firenze’. Text & music of cc. ed. Mancuso, no. 22 (Rz1563, a4).

note: GallicoRM, 80, 202; PirrottaMT, 99-101; D’AnconaPP, 485-6. ‘È levomi una bella matina’ survives as a four-part frottola setting in Ve; ed. LuisiAp, NosowB, and excerpt ed. in PirrottaMT, 100-01. This probably is not the Florentine cc. musical source. Cc. incipit may be related to Catalan song ‘M’y levay par ung matin’ (verse, with refrain ‘Dindiridin’; see this title as a cc.). See complex of loosely related melodies in JeppesenF, iii, 27-31, & discussion in BrownM, 261 & LuisiAp, lxxv-lxxix. For two later settings of ‘M’y levay par ung matin’ by Guyard & Janequin, see BrownTC, 157-63. Lacking attribution to Belcari in Gall3.

note: in some sources the lauda incipit is ‘Signor Jesù quando sarò’. Alternate cc. = ‘O Jesù dolce’ & modo proprio. See Carboni-ZiinoLM, 281, 324; MaceyB, 53-4, 71-2. Music ed. CattinG, no.27 (Grey; ‘Quando Signor Jesù); LuisiLG, ii, 117-19 (Grey & Rz1563); Mancuso, no. 80 (Rz1563), and MaceyS, 34-5 (Rz1563; Macey proposes ‘[Quando] Signor Jesù’ as cc. for two texts by Girolamo Benivieni, ‘Viva ne’ nostr cuori’, ed. 36-7, & ‘Da che tu ci hai Signore’, ed. 38-9). Simple a2 setting in Grey differs from a3 setting in Rz1563 (cantus in Ferr84). Text of ‘Quando Signor’ ed. LuisiLG, i, 257-8.

note: lauda re. St. Francis. In LA424, lauda sent to ‘Frate Francesco Brandi, fra minore observanto’.

note: text of lauda differs from the ‘Poich ’i lascia’ il mio Dio’ in Gall2. ‘Da poi ch’io ti lasciai’ found in 14thc. sources, like BML, Ashburnham 423, fol. 156v.

note: Gall2 incipit for cc = ‘En suso in su quel monte chiara vi surge la fontanella’.

note: sources agree on alternate cc. = ‘Se non ti guardi amore’ (music in BR62,& related version in Rz1563 w/text ‘Se tu donassi il core’, and a slightly varied C & T, different CT). See FallowsCat, 560.
