Rz1563

note: Gall4 rubric = ‘fatta sopra la canzona, ch’ andó el dì di Berlingaccio’. See modo proprio for ‘Molto più guerra’ (Rz1563), which preserves the original music for the carnival song text. MaceyNC,152-3 has shown that the carnival song to which the cc. title refers (‘Berlingaccio’ is the last Thursday of carnival) is probably Giovan Francesco del Bianco’s ‘Pace, guerra, guerra e pace’, which makes use of identical form and rhyme words (including the same, unusual sequence of 7,8, and 11 syllable lines: 8/8/8/11 11/11/7/8/7/7/7/11); del Bianco’s text is ed. in SingletonCC, 231-2, where it is titled ‘Canzona degli amatori di pace’. The 4-part setting in Rz1563 (ed. Mancuso, 287-96) was thus probably associated originally with del Bianco’s carnival song. CattinCC, 207 notes that Castellani’s lauda with similar title, ‘Guerra e pace, pace e guerra’, uses the same metric scheme as del Bianco’s carnival song.

note: Carnival song--’Canzona degli uomini d’arme’.

note: CattinCC, 200. Carnival song--’Canzona degli uomini d’arme’. See ‘Peccatori Maria’ (music in Rz1563) as cc. paired w/’Temporal fuor di natura’.

note: on Lorenzo’s text and its musical settings, see RubsamenQ, 163-84. Carnival song--Canzona delle Forese; text ed. BruscagliTCC, i, 15. Lorenzo’s lauda text ed. ToscaniL, 84-7 (on p. 33 he suggests it was composed in 1491), and in DucciniL, 172-9, with extensive commentary. See ‘Quant’è grande‘ as cc. and as modo proprio for bibliography re. editions, etc.

note: cc. text tranmitted in LAD759, fol.327, Filippo Scarlatti’s autograph ms., where it is labeled a ‘chanzona ciciliana’; also a cc. for Scarlatti’s lauda, ‘Quanto sono in verde etate’ (fol.382, dated 1470/1), with poetic form CapQ:8 (abbc cdde effg..). See FerraraV, 7; PasquiniFS, 427, 438, 538, 567. For biblography on the lauda, see ‘Deh venitene’ as a cc. The music preserved in Rz1563 is a simple, homophonic 3-part setting with a popular tone that suits the cc. text perfectly, and is probably some version of the original music for this text; ed. Mancuso, 382--3, and first two quatrains of cc. text ed. in D’AnconaPP, 491.

note: cc. also ‘Laudate’ as cc. for ‘Cristo ver’, w/music in Rz1563, ed. Mancuso, 416-20. The secular text, ‘Perchè son io si bella’, that serves as a cc. for ‘Laudate il sommo Dio’, may be the original text for the music preserved in Razzi.

note: music and text of lauda ed. in Mancuso, 743-8. The setting in Rz1563 may preserve something of the original music belonging to the cc. text.

note: on ‘Jesù clement’ e pio’ see RostirollaB, 703; RostirollaLC, 831; facs. of Anim1577 (a3) in RostirollaTL, 32. Fabbroni’s lauda is transmitted in non-Florentine sources (including Animuccia) with music that differs from Rz1563.
