Rz1563

note: music and text ed. Mancuso, 487-92. Lauda in honor of St. Cecilia. See ‘Lodiam’ as a cc. for other laude. The music is very likely a two-part arrangement of music originally intended for a carnival song text.

note: MaceyB, 137-9, where text & music are ed., and the composition discussed as the musical centerpiece of a Savonarola ‘hidden triptych’, flanked by and related to ‘La carità è spenta’ and ‘O anima accecata’ in Rz1563. The anon. 4-part setting is strictly chordal in texture.

note: see ‘S’ i’ pensassi’ as lauda with modo proprio for bibliographic information.

note: Rz1563 rubric for ‘Ricchi siam’ = ’laude de compreensori’. A version of the music for the carnival song ‘Caritate amore Dei’ is transmitted in Rz1563 with the text ‘Povertà, fatiche, stenti’, and cc. link to the text of ‘Ricchi siam’.

note: This is one of 5 villote Razzi adapted, this one from the anonymous ‘Havea na gallina capelluta’, from Canzoni alla napolitana (Rome, 1557); see MaceyB, 57-8. Text and music ed. Mancuso, 587-90.

note: cc. refers to a Carnival song, the ‘Canzona delle dèe’. See MaceyB, 57. Music & text of carnival song ed. GallucciFFM, 26-8. Lauda discussed in Mancuso, 126-8; music & text ed. 758-64. Rz1563 preserves intact the music of Isaac’s 4-part setting. Rubric at end of the music in Rz1563 indicates that this lauda with Isaac’s music was sung at Orsanmichele (‘cantasi a Orsanmichele...’). The lauda is clearly modeled on the carnival song text, or perhaps in this case it was the other way around (both poems share the 2nd part of the 3rd line, for ex.: ‘...che nel ciel [su] regna’. The reading of Poliziano’s poem in Rz1563 is corrupt (e.g., ‘gloriosa’ for ‘immaculata’ in line 1, a completely different text for line 5, and Poliziano’s line 7, ‘per te sola si sente’, is missing), which is probably why the editor of the Rz1563 was reluctant to underlay the lauda text to the music (see Mancuso, 126-7). For the lauda text, see S. Orlando, ed. Angelo Poliziano: Poesie Italiane, Milan, Rizzoli 1976, p. 231.

note: the cc. text and all lauda linked to it are tercets. Music of ‘Lodate’ ed. LuisiLG, ii, 156.

note: music ed. LuisiLG, ii, 156 (though the cc sources do not support the link with the text of ‘Ave tempio di Dio’ that Luisi proposes with this transcription); Mancuso, 266-9. See also ‘Lodate’ as a cc.

note: lauda re. Sant’Agnese. Essentially same text as ‘Tuoi divoti’, but adjusted ‘per le suore’.

note: Music & text ed. Mancuso, 765-7. Rubric in Rz1563: ‘cantasi in Orsan Michele, et all’altre composte innanzi a ogn’altra cosa’.
