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.
