note: Gall4 rubric = ‘fatta sopra la canzona, ch’ andó el dì di Berlingaccio’. See modo proprio for ‘Molto più guerra’ (Rz1563), which preserves the original music for the carnival song text. MaceyNC,152-3 has shown that the carnival song to which the cc. title refers (‘Berlingaccio’ is the last Thursday of carnival) is probably Giovan Francesco del Bianco’s ‘Pace, guerra, guerra e pace’, which makes use of identical form and rhyme words (including the same, unusual sequence of 7,8, and 11 syllable lines: 8/8/8/11 11/11/7/8/7/7/7/11); del Bianco’s text is ed. in SingletonCC, 231-2, where it is titled ‘Canzona degli amatori di pace’. The 4-part setting in Rz1563 (ed. Mancuso, 287-96) was thus probably associated originally with del Bianco’s carnival song. CattinCC, 207 notes that Castellani’s lauda with similar title, ‘Guerra e pace, pace e guerra’, uses the same metric scheme as del Bianco’s carnival song.
