Rz1563

note: according to LA424 rubric, d’Albizo’s lauda sent to nuns at Santa Chiara.

note: lauda re. St. Francis. In LA424, lauda sent to ‘Frate Francesco Brandi, fra minore observanto’.

note: text of lauda differs from the ‘Poich ’i lascia’ il mio Dio’ in Gall2. ‘Da poi ch’io ti lasciai’ found in 14thc. sources, like BML, Ashburnham 423, fol. 156v.

note: see ‘Cristo ver’ as cc. in later sources. On this cc. link, see CummingsP, 143-7 (both texts ed. 145, music of ‘Cristo ver’ on 146-7). The text and music of ‘Laudate’ are called for in Belcari’s sacra rappresentazione, the Festa di San Felice. Music w/Belcari’s text transmitted in Rz1563, and ed. Mancuso, 416-20.

note: Music & text of ‘In su...tre bocche’ ed. MaceyS, 66-7; Mancuso, 507-9; discussed in LuisiCB, 433-6, 446-7; MaceyB, 106-7. In Ch266, cc. incipit ‘In su quell’alto monte è la fontana che trabochella drento vi si bagnia bella fantin[ell]a’ suggests an older secular model for Bianco’s 14thc. lauda text (‘In su quell’alto monte vi è una fontana che trabocch’ella d’oro vi son le sponde è d’argento la sua cannella’). Gall2 preserves yet a different cc. incipit for Bianco’s lauda: ‘In su quel monte chiara vi surge la fontanella’. Poet also called ‘Bianco dell’Anciolina Fiorentino, detto da Siena, Ingesuato’ (Gall2, p. 104). There are considerable differences between the texts transmitted in Gall2 & Rz1563. The 3-part setting in Rz1563 appears to be a simple arrangement of an older popular song, and very likely belonged originally to the secular cantasi come text.

note: Gall2 incipit for cc = ‘En suso in su quel monte chiara vi surge la fontanella’.

note: see CattinR, 42; Lincoln, 12. M121 & PetF/viii transmit two different 4-part versions of ‘Uscirò’. Composer of the Petrucci version is Francesco Ana, and text in this version also differs after the 2nd verse. As a Florentine source with other links to the cc. tradition, the setting in M121 (also a 4-part frottola) is the more likely source for the link in this case. Both settings, each with both texts, ed. LuisiLG, ii, 187-9; PetF version also ed. BoscoloFr, no. 36. The cc. text is in RA2435, pp. 141-2. For a different tradition of musical settings of ‘O Maria Diana stella’, see alternate cc. = ‘Galantina morosina’, & ‘Benedetta sia quell’ora’.

note: . Music of ‘O Maria’ à4 in Razzi + different 2-part setting in BerAT30 (ed. Jaenecke); both versions ed. in LuisiLG, ii, 94-5. Rz1563 version ed. Mancuso, no.23. Varied cantus in Ferr84, ed. in Carboni-ZiinoLM, 327. Alternate cc. = ‘Benedetta sia quell’ora’ (Ferr84; cancelled); ‘Uscirò di tanti affanni’ (R196), with music in M121 & PetF/vii.
