note: see FallowsCat, 285-6; CattinCI, 419. Music ed. in ThibaultM, 65 (Cord); HanenE, no. 23 (EscB); LuisiLG, ii, 165 & SchavranP, ii, 25 (Pav362); EMS28, no. 1 (Pix; w/possibly earlier Eng. text, ‘Mi verry joy’, on which see FallowsW); CMM1/vi, no. 90 (Porto), GutiérrezW, 59 (Wolf). For citations of melody, see FallowsCat, 285.

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. Text of cc. transmitted in Ch266, R2929 (which was copied by 1448), and in 14thc. sources like BML, Ashburnham 423, fol. 69v., where it is attributed to Jacopone.

note: see FallowsCat, 189-90; BrownM, 232; CattinCI, 429-31 (with comparison of both texts). Music ed. in CMM37 (Rei; major prolation version); conflated ed. in FallowsE, 64. EscA & Ox resemble the Rei version, but w/perfect time, doubled note values, and a more elaborate discantus. Lauda text in M690 transmitted in 3 stanzas, the middle of which is three lines long (aba), the outer five (ababa).

note: 2nd line of cc. reads ‘...cavalcar per lo Bresciano’ [‘brescian’, M690]; ‘Chi vede’l carmignuola cavalcare’ (LA480). D’AnconaPP, 479; see also p. 56, where D’Ancona gives the first two lines as: ‘Che vedesse il Conte Carmignola/Cavalcar per lo bresciano’. D’AnconaPP, 56 suggests that the cc. circulated in Florence around 1426, when Florentines were at war in Lombardy.

note: ‘Chi serve’ performed in context of Belcari’s Rappresentazione di Abrame e Isacco (Florence, 1449), near the end of the play (lines 489-510), following the rubric: ‘...tutti insieme fanno un ballo cantando questa lauda: Chi serve a Dio...’ (3 stanzas, as in Gall1); see OsthoffT, i, 30-3; BecheriniSR, 199. Music ed. Osthoff, ii, 33; LuisiLG, ii, 186 w/lauda text ‘O gloriosa verzene Maria’. Text of ‘Amar non vo’ te’ entered in R2929, which was copied by 1448; ed. LuisiLG, i, 298.

note: alternate cc. for ‘Facciam festa’ = ‘Senno mi pare’. Laude & cc. both re. Nativity. See also cantus melody for ‘Facciam’ in Ferr84, ed. in Carboni-ZiinoLM, 318. CattinCI, 434 mentions a lost Gaffurius setting of ‘Facciam festa’.

note: CattinR, 31. 4-voice setting of lauda text in PetL/i. See ‘Jesù fammi morire’ as a frequently cited cc.

note: alternate cc. for ‘Qual padre’ = ‘stanze d’Abram’ (all sources)
