Notes:

note: FallowsCat, 523-4; CarboniE, 458; CattinS,272-6; WilsonHM re. complex of ‘Ora mai’ songs & texts; CattinNR,224-6. Music ed. in WilsonHM (all); CMM88, no. 53, HanenE, no. 80, and AtlasN, 220 (EscB); CattinS,279-81 (CB & EscB, and facs. of CB). All music sources except EscB transmit Belcari’s lauda text, ‘Ora mai sono in età’. Alternate cc. for ‘Mondo ne non harai’ = ‘Ora mai sono in età’ & ‘Giovanetti con fervore’. The line lengths of the stanzas of ‘Mondo me non harai tu’ (8/8/8/8/8/8/8/7) match those of the related, ‘Hora mai’ complex of youth laude, but the line lengths of the refrain (7/11/11/7) do not. The neapolitan cc. is discussed in the context of a 1465 wedding in Siena when ‘Ora mai che fora son’ accompanied dancing; see E. Southern, A Prima Ballerina of the Fifteenth Century, in «Music and Context: Essays for John M. Ward», ed. A. Shapiro, Cambridge, Harvard Univ. Press 1985, 183-97.
