Rz1563

note: alternate cc. = ‘Lassa quanto son io’ (Gall2); Rs424 cc. reads as ‘El bel viso’

note: MaceyB, 125-9; RostirollaB, 732. The cc. for ‘Ecco il Messia’ is ‘Ben venga Maggio’ (see above). Ed. w/Lucrezia’s text in MaceyS, 62.

note: cc = carnival song, ‘Trionfo della dea Minerva’. Text ed. SingletonCC, 213-14. Music ed. GallucciFFM, 14-15. See also MaceyB, 56-7. M310 & Gall4 list both lauda and cc as ‘Dalla più alta stella’. Lauda attr. to Lorenzo in the cc. sources, but excluded from Toscani’s edition. Cc. text once attr. to Poliziano; CattinNR, 260; CattinRP, 391. PrizerM, 29 suggests a date of ca. 1492 for the carnival song, which celebrates Giovanni de’ Medici’s cardinal’s hat, and very likely his subsequent grand entrance into Florence from Fiesole in March, 1492.

note: Rs424 rubric = ‘lauda di San Vincentio martire et levita per la festa de’ giovani’. Given the association of the latter sections of Rs424 with the Convent of San Marco & Savonarola, this lauda must belong to a group of youth laude associated with the Savonarolan ‘fanciulli’, and with the Company of the Purification in particular; see WilsonHM, 292-7. The model for Lorenzo’s lauda is Divizio’s carnival song, the ‘Trionfo della dea Minerva’, ‘Dalla più alta stella discende a celebrare’, music ed. in GallucciFFM, no. 8; Mancuso, no. 82.

note: lauda re. Savonarola; entire Luschino text ed. & trans. in MaceyS, lvi-lvii; music ed. 90-3. See also MaceyB, 131f, where he proposes a link to Catherina de’ Ricci’s Savonarolan lauda, ‘Da che tu m’hai dimostro tanto amore’, which is clearly modeled on Belcari’s ‘Da che tu m’hai Iddio’.

note: Contrasting musical settings of Belcari’s text are transmitted in Rz1563 (a2) and PetL/i (a4), and ed. in LuisiLG, ii, 180-4 (Rz1563 & PetL/i); JeppesenL, no.57 (PetL/i); MaceyS, 87-9; Mancuso, 371-9 (Rz1563). Refrain & 1st stanza of Belcari text & entire Ricci text ed. & trans. MaceyS, lv-lviii. See also MaceyB, 132-5 (+CD) on Ricci’s lauda. See also ‘Da che tu m’hai Iddio’ as lauda w/cc = ‘Madre che festi’. Ricci’s lauda recounts her vision of Savonarola and miraculous cure in 1540, while she was a nun at the Dominican convent of San Vincenzo in Prato (the likely provenance of M365).

note: Lauda incipit in RA2274 reads ‘Quando ti desterai, o alma stolta’.

note: lauda re. St. James the Greater

note: lauda re. St. Anne

note: See CattinCC, 195-6. There is a different setting of the Castellani text by Dammonis in PetL/i, 7v-8r.; ed. LuisiLG, ii, 322-4.
