note: carnival song (mascherata)-Canzona (or Canto) de’ Diavoli; music ed. GallucciFFM, no.9. Lauda = song of condemned souls. Text of cc. in BruscagliTCC, i, 27, where it is called the ‘[Canzona] de’ diavoli iscacciati di cielo’. BruscagliTCC, i, 218 transmits the text of a different ‘Canzona de’ Diavoli’, ‘Se colui ch’ora in ciel gode immortale’, and il Giuggiola’s ‘Trionfo di diavoli’, set by A. Coppini, is a cc. for the lauda ‘Giù nelle infernal grotte morte’. GhisiCC, 93 mistakenly associates the Coppini setting with the Machiavelli text. See CattinNR, 260, and BlackburnTCS, 129 who cites a likely date of Carnival, 1502 for Machiavelli’s carnival song (the text of which alludes to the election of Cardinal Giuliano de’ Medici).
