note: Razzi transmits a 3vv setting of his text (ed. Mancuso, no. 37), suitable for singing ‘Caritate amore Dei’ (see MaceyB, 56), but a different 4-part setting of ‘Caritate’ is transmitted in the extant Florentine carnival song sources (ed. GallucciFFM, no.41; cc. text ed. SingletonCC, 280-81), and Razzi adapts this music in a 2-part arrangement for a different lauda linked to ‘Caritate’, ‘Povertà, fatiche, stenti santo’. The music for ‘Spirti sian’ in Rz1563 looks very much like a carnival song setting, but either this is a sacred carnival song or the original secular text has not yet been identified. MaceyB, 56 proposes that there were two distinct musical settings for ‘Caritate amore Dei’. Oddly enough, Razzi transmits yet a different melody for the text of ‘Spriti sian’ in Pal173, fol. 97r.
