Ox

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.

note: see ‘Vergine bella’ as a lauda with a modo proprio setting for bibliography.

note: cc. title is ‘Invidia al ciel nimicha’, but FallowsCat, 525-6 argues for the close connection between these two versions of the cc. title. Incipit echoes Petrarch’s sonnet ‘O invidia nimica di vertute’. Music ed. in DuffinD, 60 and CMM1/vi(r), no. 2 (Ox); earlier CMM1/vi unreliable for this piece.

note: See CattinCI, 430. Alternate cc. = ‘Gia mai laudarti’.

note: see FallowsCat, 189-90; BrownM, 232; CattinCI, 429-31 (with comparison of both texts). Music ed. in CMM37 (Rei; major prolation version); conflated ed. in FallowsE, 64. EscA & Ox resemble the Rei version, but w/perfect time, doubled note values, and a more elaborate discantus. Lauda text in M690 transmitted in 3 stanzas, the middle of which is three lines long (aba), the outer five (ababa).
