Rz1563 (a3)

note: The cantus of the cc. setting found in Rz1563 is borrowed, intact, from the 2nd superius of Francesco Layolle’s 5-part ‘Si ch’io la vo seguire nessun’altra offesa’; ed. D’AcconeMFR, iii, no. 19. Cc. ed. in Mancuso, no. 75 (Rz1563). Cara’s musically independent 4-part setting of the same text set by Layolle is in PetF/xi, and text and music are ed. in LuisiFr, no. 1, and in PrizerCP, 449-51 (see also BoormanOP, 1020); this text is formally identical to several others in the cc. sources with a similar incipit, suggesting that these ‘Si ch’i’ la vo seguire’ texts are interrelated. See this cc. title as a lauda with a modo proprio setting.

note: This is one of 5 villote Razzi adapted, this one from the anonymous ‘Havea na gallina capelluta’, from Canzoni alla napolitana (Rome, 1557); see MaceyB, 57-8. Text and music ed. Mancuso, 587-90.

note: the cc. text and all lauda linked to it are tercets. Music of ‘Lodate’ ed. LuisiLG, ii, 156.

note: music ed. LuisiLG, ii, 156 (though the cc sources do not support the link with the text of ‘Ave tempio di Dio’ that Luisi proposes with this transcription); Mancuso, 266-9. See also ‘Lodate’ as a cc.

note: lauda re. Sant’Agnese. Essentially same text as ‘Tuoi divoti’, but adjusted ‘per le suore’.

note: original text was probably the carnival song, the Canzona degli uomini salvatichi: ‘Viva viva la ragione’, for which Razzi transmits the a3 music, ed. MaceyS, 23-31 (where a third text is added to the cluster of related texts: ‘Viva, viva in nostro core’); Mancuso, 713-20. See MaceyB, 56, 64-6 (w/music ed. on 65). Text in Gall4 without cc., and incipit ‘Viva, viva l’orazione’.

note: text & music ed. Mancuso, 680-7. See MaceyB, 113-15, where Razzi’s setting is edited and underlaid with the text of Savonarola’s ‘Alma che sì gentile sei per amor’ (which along with d’Astore’s ‘Alma che sì gentile/ti fé’ have poetic forms and rhyme schemes identical to ‘Deh dolce redentor’). Music ed. with all 3 texts in MaceyS, 71-9; texts ed. & trans. xlviii-l. Gall4/Pal120/R196 transmit variant incipit ‘O dolce redentor’, and no cc. MaceyB reconstructs the chain of cc. links: d’Astore’s lauda had its own setting or could be sung to the tune of ‘O benigno Signore’ (Gall2); no music for ‘O benigno Signore’ survives, but in BNF, J.VIII.5 (late 16thc), ‘Signore soccorri aita’ (see Bartolomeo’s a4 setting) could be sung to ‘O benigno Signore’ or ‘O dolce redentore’. Thus, the setting in Rz1563 is a possible source for all of these texts.
