Cas794

note: CattinCC, 194-5. Cc in M310 is ‘Sommo diletto e vero amore’, probably a garbled version of Belcari’s title

note: ‘Et ha modo proprio molto bello facto da Ser Firenze prete’ (Rs424, with similar rubrics in Gall2, R196). Music & text ed. Mancuso, 721-30. LA424: lauda ‘mandata a Fra Domenico Ricci in Santa Maria Novella’.

Note: music ed. LuisiLG, ii, 26-7 (‘Come dinanzi a Christo fuzirai’); text of cc. ed. i, 302, with incipit ‘Se per dileto tu cercando vay’. Cc. text also in Gall3. Lauda text entered in R2929, which was copied by 1448.

note: the cc. may be identical with the strambotto ‘O partita crudele’ (music in Per431) used as a cc. in the same cc. sources, and with incipit (perhaps inadvertantly) altered to match the lauda title. A more likely version of the text is transmitted in RA2435, p. 91: ‘Questa crudel partita/porrà fine all mia vita’

note: CattinR, 43, n.70 . There is a monodic setting of ‘Anima benedetta’ in Ven145, a different 2-part version in Pal472 (ed. Diederichs, 408), & 4-part setting in Anim1563. All 3 are ed. in LuisiLG, ii, 6-7. Of the two laude in the Galletti prints with the incipit ‘O vergine Maria’, the ‘O vergine Maria/chiunche ti vuole amare’ in Gall4 matches the BaG:7 form of ‘Anima benedetta’.

note: variant ‘peregrina’ in Gall1. See FallowsCat, 544; CarboniE, 457-8; CattinNR, 230. Ed. ThibaultM (Cord, versions A & B), PopeM & LuisiLG (MC, version A in ballade form; see discussion in PopeM, 566), LuisiLG, ii, 245-6 (Pav362, version B, parody of ‘O rosa bella’), LuisiLG, ii, 247-8 (M176, canonic version C). Though ‘O pellegrina’ is not ascribed to Giustinian anywhere, and is probably not by him, it is transmitted in Venetian mss. and belongs to the broader tradition of giustiniane. It is the only strambotto in the cantasi comes sources traceable to a Venetian orbit.

note: see CattinR, no.117. The text of the lauda as transmitted in Gall2 appears to be corrupt. Gall2 here gives the cc. title as ‘O partita crudele ed oimè.’

note: See FallowsCat, 543-4. Music ed. Hernon, 460 (Per431, but textless in ms.); GhisiStr, 65 (excerpt). CattinR, 40 & GhisiStr, 64 note that ‘Partita crudele’ is the title of a ballo mentioned by the 15thc. dancing master Guglielmo Ebreo. Guglielmo corresponded with the Medici, and there is evidence his balli were known to Florentines; see Barbara Sparti, Guglielmo Ebreo of Pesaro: De pratica seu arte tripudii [On the Practice or Art of Dancing], Oxford, Clarendon Press 1993, p. 36 (on ‘Partita crudele’ as a bassadanza), pp. 41-2, 48-9. CattinNR, 231 suggests that a strambotto in the MC with the title ‘Quanto mi dolse sta crudel partita’ may be related to the cc.; ed. PopeM, no. 125. On possible interrrelationships between ‘O partita crudele’ (Per431), ‘Crudele’ (P676; see also ‘O crudel donna’ as a cc. ), and ‘Quanto mi dolse sta crudel partita’ (MC), see PopeM, 652, and GhisiStr, 64-6 (excerpts of all three pieces are transcribed and compared on 65-6). For a different Belcari lauda, O Jesù, sommo bene’, Gall2 gives the cc. title as ‘O partita crudele ed oimè.’

note: See CattinR, no. 80. Ed. w/both texts in LuisiLG, ii, 228 (Panc27).

note: see FallowsCat, 533; GallicoRM, 103. Melodic fragment of cc. transmitted in a 4-voice quodlibet on ‘Fortuna desperata’ in M164-7; ed. PopeM, 571; BeccheriniT, 89; JeppesenF, iii, 59. Melody probably not related to ‘Vaughe le gallee’, or ’Voca la galiera’ (PopeM, 571-2, with notes re. pieces with similar text incipits in Pix & CG; see ‘Canti di ghalea’). Lauda re. San Lorenzo. Alternate cc. in M690 & R2896 for ‘Tu che puoi’ = ‘Con desiderio vo cercando’. LuisiLG, ii, 157-8 unconvincingly sets text of ‘Con desiderio’ to music of ‘Voca la galiera’ (MC).
