Rz1563 (a3)

note: lauda ‘per la sveglia’ in R2988.

note: this lauda is a cc. for several other laude with the same incipit, and is transmitted as a lauda with a modo proprio. The cc. incipit may refer to this modo proprio, perhaps a secular song upon which Razzi drew for his 3-part setting of this lauda text. The cantus of Razzi’s version is identical to the 2nd superius of Francesco Layolle’s 5-part ‘Si ch’io la vo seguire nessun’altra offesa’, and both versions probably derive from an older source that may indeed be the music to which the LA766 incipit refers. The Layolle madrigal is ed. in D’AcconeMFR, iii, no. 19 (in the commentary D’Accone notes that it “uses a popular melody, albeit one of Italian origin, as a cantus firmus;” xiii). The same text was set by Cara, with music transmitted in Ve, no. 36, and PetF/xi (ed. in LuisiFr, no. 1, and PrizerCP, 449-51). Text & music of Razzi’s version ed. Mancuso, no. 75.

note: lauda re. San Silvestro.

note: lauda linked to ‘modo proprio’ in M365, with music & text ed. Mancuso, 523-9. Almost certainly a contrafactum of a carnival song, which MaceyB, 56-7 proposes to be Michele da Prato’s ‘Pescatori a lenza siamo’ (Canzona de’ pescatori che pigliono ranocchi); ed. SingletonCC, 386-9. However, the lauda ‘Alla morte horrenda’ is linked to two cc. sources, ‘Peccatori noi siamo Maria’ and the carnival song ‘Temporal fuor di natura’, an indication that Rz1563 may preserve the music not for the carnival song suggested by Macey, but for ‘Temporal fuor di natura’, the ‘Canzona degli uomini d’arme’ (text ed. SingletonCC, 21-2).

note: Music & text ed. Mancuso, 752-7. The lauda text is very old

note: music and text ed. Mancuso, 616-19. Some awkward moments of text underlay suggest that this may be a contrafactum.

note: Mancuso, 601-7 edits text and music of Razzi’s lauda. The cantus part of the lauda is based on the melody of ‘La pastorella si leva per tempo’ found in the mid-sixteenth century collection of dance tunes, M108. The single strophe of the cc. text transmitted here is identical in form and rhyme scheme to the lauda. The cc. text is found in Rome, Biblioteca Angelica Ms. 2435, no. 143, where it is organized in 5-line strophes.
