note: RositrollaB, 709. Text & music of cc. ed. Mancuso, 447-50, but ultimately derived from Carnival song ‘Vicin, vicin, vicin’ (see this title as a cc.), which is ed. in MaceyS, 12-14 with both Belcari & carnival song texts (Panc27). RC395 indicates ‘Ecco’l signore’ also has modo proprio (presumably independent of music for ‘Jesù, Jesù, Jesù’/’Vicin, vicin, vicin’); see ‘Ecco’l signore’ with ‘Ben venga Maggio’ as original text & music; text transmitted as cc. in Razzi, with music bearing text ‘Ecco’l Messia’. ‘Ecco’l signore’ appears several times in RC395, with music for C & T parts on fols. 3v-4r, and as text: once with 2nd line continuing ‘e la madre’ (instead of ‘...ognun/ciascun gli doni’), perhaps the result of scribal confusion with the related text ‘Ecco’l Messia, ecco’l Messia, e la madre sua Maria’.
