Cantasi come - Frul29

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.’

Notes:

note: P676 transmits a 3-part setting that is textless except for incipit ‘Crudele’; ed. LuisiLG, ii, 261-3, with the text ‘O crudel donna despietata che lassato me hay’, a Giustinian poem, ed. Wiese, 253, that is not formally compatible with the lauda. See also bibliog. under lauda ‘O Jesù dolce’ (for which ‘O crudel’ is also a cc.). Cc. text transmitted in RA2435, 129-31 (‘O crudel donna, poi che lassato m’ ai/per un altro amadore’) with the form BaG (XyyX AbAbBccX) that matches the lauda more closely. As it stands, the music in P676 looks instrumental, but the cantus firmus-like middle voice may transmit a version of the original vocal melody. The ‘Crudele’ in P676 is also ed. and discussed in Prizer, Instrumental Music/Instrumentally Performed Music ca. 1500: The Genres of Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale, Ms. Res. VM.7 676, in «Le Concert des voix et des instruments à la Renaissance», ed. J.M. Vaccaro, Paris, Éditions CNRS 1995, 195-8.
