Occhi miei lassi, mentre ch’io vi giro BaG4/10 (XYyX ABCBACCDdX)

Poet: 

Petrarch

Language: 

it-mad

Composer: 

Layolle/
Arcadelt/
Trombon-
cino

Lauda: 

Vergine santa pe’ tuoi gran dolori
BaG4/10 (XYyX ABCBACCDdX)

Notes: 

note: JeppesenF, ii, 240 lists frottole with incipits ‘Occhi mei lassi poichè’ (Cara; PetF/iv), ‘Occhi mei lassi acompagnate’ (Ioannes Lulinus Venetus; PetF/xi; ed. LuisiFr, no. 59), and Petrarch’s ballata grande ‘Occhi mei lassi mentre [ch’io vi giro]’ (Tromboncino; 1517/3, PetF, 1510, Ve). See CattinNR, 253. Lincoln, 868 lists 9 works in 16thc. prints with this incipit, including settings by the Florentine composer Layolle (‘Occhi miei lassi mentre’), Arcadelt (‘Occhi miei lassi ch’io’), Cara, Tromboncino, and 3 from the later 16thc. Given the strong recourse of M365 to early 16thc. Florentine polyphony (esp. that of Arcadelt and Verdelot), a setting by Layolle or Arcadelt was most likely intended as the cc. Layolle’s setting is ed. in D’AcconeMFR/iv, no. 28; Arcadelt’s in SeayJA, i, no. 36.

Madonna oimè ch’io moro Mad

Language: 

it-mad

Lauda: 

Vergine oimè ch’io moro
Mad (abbaCdeedffGgC)

Notes: 

note: cc. possibly modeled on Arcadelt’s ‘Madonna oimè ch’io ardo’; both pieces transmitted in Brus. See Fenlon/HaarIM, 150, where it is suggested that the cc. may be a risposto to Arcadelt’s madrigal.

Notes: 

note: Fenlon/HaarIM, 151 (concordant sources); Lincoln, 311 (‘Voi ven’ andat’ al cielo’). Music ed. SeayJA, ii, no. 59. Arcadelt formally treats the poem like a ballata, musically setting off the first three lines as if they were a ripresa (xyY), but the text is too irregular to be a ballata.
