Pal173

note: MaceyFS, 356 notes that Razzi recorded and used the cantus melody of Verdelot’s madrigal for four different laude in his autograph ms., Pal173. For an earlier and probably more complete use of Verdelot’s music, see its link to the lauda ‘Vergin gloriosa madre de’ peccatori.’ In Rz1609, Razzi used the cantus and tenor of Verdelot’s madrigal for two laude: ‘Le Vergin gloriose’ (possibly the same as the preceding text), and, ‘Questo dì glorioso.’

note: The Razzi settings (Rz1563, Pal173) preserve the cantus melody of the madrigal setting found in Q21, Yale179, and Mgl.111. That this text in its madrigalesque setting was sung in early 16thc. Florentine convents is indicated by its arrangement in Rz1563, but the transmission of the text (without music or cc. rubric) in M365 and R2988.

note: see original cc: ‘Ben venga maggio’.

Note: FallowsCat, 565-6; Mancuso, 125-7; RostirollaLC, 783-4, 847. Dufay setting ed. CMM1/vi(r), no. 5; DuffinD, 62; facs. in PlanchartW (Q15, Ox). Rz1563 setting a2 & Razzi melody from Pal173 ed. in LuisiLG, ii, 137-9; Mancuso, 270-76. Text ed. in LG, i, 269 (attr. to Giustinian in many sources). See ‘Vergene bella gratiosa et pura’ in Ven145, w/melodic similarities. Later settings of text by Tromboncino (1510), & Rz1563, w/some melodic similarities (JeppesenF, ii, 105). In Pal173, Razzi presents a cantus melody for the first two lines, and this differs completely from either Dufay’s chanson or Rz1563.
