Grey

note: VB3711 bears no cc., but the rubric ‘fece Feo Belchari et madolla ad papa Pagolo Sicondo [1464-71]’; two surviving letters by Belcari dated Sept. 9, 1467 and July 1 1468 record his efforts to send his lauda ‘de’ fructi della carità’ (the rubric for ‘Chi se veste’) to this pope through his longtime friend Piero dell’Orto, the bishop of Massa Marittima; see FigliouoloT, 269-70. On the cc., see FallowsCat, 504-5; GallicoRM, 54; CattinNR, 274; ZiinoNF, 237-9 (fragment). Music ed. Kottick, CMM42 & ThibaultM, 4 (Cord); CattinG, no.22 with text ‘Cum desiderio io vo cercando’ (Grey); LuisiLG, ii, 32 & Diederichs, 302 (Panc27, also w/text ‘Cum desiderio’). Grey & Panc27 versions (w/lauda texts) based on D & T of Cord. Older version a2 in AT A.5, which presumably forms the basis of the Cord version. On AT A.5, see ZiinoNF (facsimile pl. 3, partial transcription 245). 1513/1 melody (a citation within the context of a barzelletta, ‘Se mia trista e dura sorte’, set to music by Niccolò Brocco) ed. JeppesenF, iii, 53, and compared to the Cord melody in ThibaultM, lxxvi. Different cc. in Gall1 (‘O lasso me’) & M690 (‘Si fortemente son tracto’).

note: variant of cc. in Gall2: ‘O Regina del mio core’

note: lauda text entered in R2929, which was copied by 1448.

note: in Gall2/R196 = ‘O regina del mio core’ as cc. for ‘O speranza’ & ‘O Colomba’. LA424: ‘mandata alle murate’; the Murate was a wealthy Benedictine convent in Florence criticized by Savonarola for their cultivation of figural singing; see MaceyB, 95-6.

note: refrain of ‘Signor Jesù’ sung to ‘La Vampeggia’. See modo proprio for ‘Signor Jesù’ for bibliography.
