Sofferir son disposto StrS

Poet: 

Serafino Aquilano?

Language: 

it-frot

Composer: 

Serafino Aquilano?

Lauda: 

Ave regina virgo

Notes: 

note: see AtlasN, 147-8 (where he argues for the Neapolitan provenance of the cc.); AtlasRM, 202-3; PrizerWC, 409, where he notes that the cc. text was recorded in BML, Antinori 158, a Florentine collection of poesia per music dating from ca. 1505-8. Music ed. AtlasN, 223 (Per431); AtlasRMA, 149. For doubts about Serafino’s authorship of the music, see CattinNR, 235, no. 47. The only evidence that this lauda and its singing model may have been linked in Florence is the presence of the cc. text and music in the Florentine source M121, and the tendency for lauda contrafacta in north Italian sources to have Florentine connections.

Contento in foco sto come Fenice Str:11

Poet: 

Poliziano

Language:

Lauda: 

Ave di cieli santa imperatrice
Son:11

Lauda Poet: 

Leonardo Giustinian

Notes: 

note: see CattinRP, 385; BridgmanM, 208-9; JeppesenF, iii, 176-7 (cc. text ed. 158-9); RubsamenLS, 21. Music ed. w/both texts from P676 (a3) & Panc27 (a4) in LuisiLG, ii, 150-1; JeppesenF, iii, 299-300 (Triv55; a3). Text of ‘Ave di cieli’ (an ‘Ave Maria’ acrostic) ed. LuisiLG, i, 260-1 (as ‘Ave di cieli santa imperatrice’, the more usual form of the title); in P676 w/rubric ‘Pro lauda virginis mariae’ & the lauda incipit above. Text of cc. attr. to Serafino Aquilano in some literary mss. I could not verify the assertion in CattinNR, 308 that the work was also to be found in ModF.9.9, no. 12. JeppesenF, ii, 192 & CattinRP, 385 also report a setting of ‘Contento in foco’ in Pesaro, Biblioteca Oliveriana, MS 1144 (1193), pp. 70-71. There is no conclusive evidence that this lauda and its link were known and sung in Florence, and its inclusion in the database is based solely on Poliziano’s authorship of the cc. text, and the tendency of lauda contrafacta in north Italian sources to have Florentine connections.

note: BridgmanM, 204-5 (incipits for a4 version in P676). ModF.9.9 version (a3) = P676 (minus alto), ed. CattinCon, 69, with notes on 74. The ModF.9.9 version was copied Oct. 6, 1495. Music ed.

P676 transmits the lauda text, which is closely modelled on the original strambotto, with the rubric: ‘hec sunt pro vergine maria’.

Lauda: 

Fin ch’io vivo e poi la morte dolce madre BaG:8

Lauda Poet: 

Bernardo Giambullari

Notes: 

note: no cc. indication in the sources, but identity of form, opening lines and ryhme scheme indicate that the secular song ‘Fin che vivo et poi la morte tamera el tristo core’ was the model for Giambullari’s lauda, and the source of its cc. music. Settings of cc. survive a3 (P676, P1597) & a4 (ModF.9.9 & Per431). Music ed. Hernon, 380-3 (Per431); La Face/BianconiGS, 309-12, and text ed. 207-8 (ModF.9.9; ‘Fin che vivo...’). Cc. text ed. A. Saviotti, Rime inedite del secolo XV (Bologna, 1893), 30.

Lauda Poet: 

Francesco d’Albizo

Notes: 

note: FallowsCat, 518-20; CattinNF, 206 (esp. n.50 for bib.); CattinR, no.108; RostirollaB, 740. 36 versions of ‘Fortuna’ are ed. in MeconiF. Settings a4 of lauda text transmitted in Grey & Panc27 (different music in Anim1563); ed. CattinG, no.35; CG version (w/Felice’s substitute bass) ed. AtlasCG, ii, 38. Panc27 reinforces the cc. link: the music (the original 3-voice song with an added si placet altus part) is underlaid with d’Albizo’s lauda text, but transmits the incipit ‘Fortuna disperata’ as well; ed. in MeconiF, no. 4. Lauda also transmitted in LA424 without cc., but indication that it was ‘sent to Ser Firenze, prete’. See also the Florentine quodlibet built on the ‘Fortuna’ melody in M164-7, ed. BecheriniT; MeconiF, no. 13; quodlibet strands ed. JeppesenF, iii, 56ff.
