Rz1563

note: text & music ed. Mancuso, 591-4. This is one of 5 villote Razzi adapted, this one based on the anonymous ‘Vorria saper da voi belle Zitelle’, from Il terzo libro delle villote alla napolitana (Venice, 1560); see MaceyB, 57-8.

note: RostirollaB, 751-2; MaceyB, 57-8, where he notes that Razzi adapted the music for this lauda from an anon. villotta, ‘Gentil signor’ affe ch’io mi moro’ (Venice, 1560); music ed. Mancuso, 585-6. Different musical setting of Razzi text (with textual variants) in Anim1577; ed. RostirollaTL, 47 (facs. p.24); Anim1577 & 1589/2 versions nearly identical, but bear only vague similarities to the setting in Rz1563.

note: text & music ed. Mancuso, 579-83. This is one of 5 villote Razzi adapted, this one originally called ‘Assa buccaccia zuccaro ci tieni’, from Il terzo libro delle villote alla napolitana (Venice, 1560); see MaceyB, 57-8.

note: ‘Sequentia Sanctae Agnetis’.

note: ‘Sequentia Sanctae Ceciliae’; ‘cantasi come quella di Natale’.

note: ‘Sequentia Sancti Vencentii martyris’. Though Razzi’s rubric calls for this Latin sequence (and three others besides) to be sung to the music of ‘Dolor pianto’, the incompatibility of the poetic forms makes this unlikely. Another rubric following the two ‘Laetabundus’ sequences in Razzi calls for them to be ‘cantasi come quella di Natale’, while a rubric sandwiched between two paraphrases of ‘Victimae paschale laudes’ (‘Virginis Catherinae’ & ‘Virginis Romane’) calls for these to be ‘cantasi come quella della resurrezzione di nostro Signore’. Thus each pair draws its music from the more famous Latin sequences for Christmas and Easter (respectively) on which they are textually modeled.

note: ‘Sequenzia Sanctae Luciae’. Cc. = carnival song ‘Carro della morte’, 1507; for the most recent and thorough discussion of this song, see PrizerLC for full discussion, and ed. of text and music. Text ed. SingletonCC, 238-9. Music ed. GallucciFFM, no. 10 (w/notes on xiv-xv); Mancuso, no.57 (Rz1563). See also MaceyB, 56-7. See ‘Dolor, pianto’ as modo proprio. Of the 5 Latin ‘sequenziae’ that follow ‘Dolor, pianto’ in Razzi’s print, this (the first of them) is the only one that is formally compatible.

note: music & text ed. Mancuso, 567-9. ‘Descrizzione dell’hore dei giorni della State’.

note: rubric in Rz1563: ‘Hinno di Compieta’.
