R193

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: see also ReidemeisterC, 95. CattinR, 32; CattinCI, 419.

note: CattinCI, 419. Alternate cc. = ‘J’ay pris amours’, modo proprio.

note: See CattinR, no.127, where he links the cc. to a ballo, ‘Ligiadra’. Incipit in Gall2 = ‘Anima ingrata, da che vuoi seguire’.

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

note: See CattinR, 41. ‘In su quel monticello’ = ‘In su quell’alto monte’? The imagery of Antonio’s lauda (‘Ave Regina celi, istella tramontana/ogni macula svegli cristallina fontana’) suggests that it was modelled on Bianco Gesuato’s. Differs from the ‘Ave regina celi isposa del Signore’ in Rz1563. Antonio’s text ed. LanzaLT, i, 189-90.

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