Rz1563

note: music and text ed. in Mancuso, 530-4.

note: music and text ed. Mancuso, 501-6. Given the moments of awkward text accentuation in this setting, this is probably a contrafactum of a secular song, though its poetic form does not suggest a carnival song model.

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: music of carnival song, the ‘Canzona degli uomini salvatichi’, is preserved in Rz1563 with the lauda text ‘Viva, viva in oratione’.

note: CattinCC, 207, where Cattin mentions several other laude with similar incipits, but singles out Fr. del Bianco’s Carnival song, ‘Pace, guerra, guerra e pace’, (text ed. SingletonCC, 231-2; music ed. Mancuso) as the clear model.

note: there is no cc. source that specifies Lorenzo’s carnival song a singing model for his lauda, but RC395 transmits the music as well as the cc. indication for a ‘modo proprio’ for his lauda; this can only refer to his carnival song, which is clearly the model for his lauda. Carnival song text ed. OrvietoCC, 80-82. Music ed. with carnival song text in RubsamenQ, 181-2, and GallucciFFM, 6-7. BR230, fol. 150r, transmits untexted T & B parts of ‘Quant’è bella’ (folio with texted cantus part missing from codex).
