T used in s works by Agricola (2), Tinctoris, & Josquin (see FallowsCat,387). LA424 indicates lauda sent to ‘Sano lanternaio’, probably the Sano di Giovanni lanternaio who was an active, free-lance laudesi & tenorista ca. 1468-1518 at the Companies of San Zanobi, San Piero Martire, & Orsanmichele (where he was pensioned in 1518; see WilsonMM,145-6). Cc. rubric in LA424 = ‘Tota per moi’ (‘Tot pur moi’ in Gall).

Le serviteur hault guerdonné-c R5:8 (aabba)

Language: 

fr

Composer: 

Dufay

Lauda: 

Se poi che vi partisti

Notes: 

note: D’AnconaPP, 493 indicates that this lauda is transmitted in the lauda editions of 1510 and 1512 (ie., Gall4 and its Venetian reprint) with this cc. indication, but I have not been able to locate the piece in extant copies of these prints.

Le serviteur hault guerdonné-b R5:8 (aabba)

Language: 

fr

Composer: 

Dufay

Lauda: 

I’ so’l tuo servitor donna gentile
5:7/11 (AbBCB)

Notes: 

note: D’Ancona (1906),435 refers to the version of Dufay’s rondeau transmitted in Pix, where five lines of an Italian poem with a different rhyme scheme and line lengths have been fitted to the five musical phrases of Dufay’s music. The Italian text is ed. in MSD47, no. 92, and appears to be a secular poem, however, and so is anomalous within the cantasi come tradition.

Composer:

Lauda: 

E’ servi tuoi Maria vengono a

Lauda Poet: 

Belcari

Notes: 

note: FallowsCat, 251-4; CarboniE, 461-4; WilsonSC, 87; BrownM, 93; CattinCI, 422. See MSD47 & FallowsD for reaffirmation of ascription to Dufay. Music ed. ThibaultM, 52 (Cord); HanenE, no.67 (EscB); PopeM, 333 (MC); CMM1/vi, no. 92 (Porto), BrownF, ii, 240 (different music in BR229). Widely cited and arranged by Isaac, Agricola, Pullois, Busnois, Hanart, et al.; see FallowsCat. See FallowsOR for discussion of Bedyngham’s (?) unrelated musical setting from Tr90. The lauda text is attributed to Ser Firenze in Gall4, but it appears in Belcari’s own collection, M690, and so must be his.

Morte o mercé gentil aquila altera-b 7:11/7 (ABCCDdE)

Language:

Composer: 

Johannes Cornago

Lauda: 

Maria mercé umile aquila altera

Notes: 

note: it is unclear in either poem if the tercets are intended to function as refrains and be repeated after the quatrains.

Composer: 

Johannes Cornago

Lauda: 

Anima mia contempla el mio patire BaMz3/4:11/7 (XYX ABbX CDdX...)

Lauda Poet: 

Feo Belcari

Notes: 

note: FallowsCat, 538-9; CattinR, 36; PopeM, 579-80. Music ed. GerberC, 43, 63 (EscB,Cord), Hanen, no.81 (EscB), CMM42, nos. 5,7 (Cord), ThibaultM, 18 (Cord), PopeM, 185 (MC). Text ed. PirrottaA, 149 (EscB). Cord = version A, EscB/MC = version B. For musically related piece, see Binchois’ ‘Mort en merchy’ (FallowsCat, 288; ed. KayeB, no.26 & RehmB, no. 32). Pirrotta describes the form of Cornago’s text as a ‘piccola canzone’; the sequence of 11 & 7 syllable lines in the first 7 lines of both cc. and lauda are identical.

O pellegrina o luce o chiara stella Str:11

Poet: 

Leonardo Giustinian?

Language:

Lauda: 

O mia regina o dolce madre bella
Str:11

Lauda Poet: 

Feo Belcari

Notes: 

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.
