Rz1563 (a3)

note: cc. undoubtedly related to ‘Si ch’ i’ la vo seguire Magdalena’, with music a3 in Rz1563 (and a cc. for many other lauda), and ‘Si ch’ i’ ti vo laudare, Maria Vergine’ in RC395 (to which it may be identical); all share the same form and very similar rhyme scheme. In his autograph ms., Pal173, vol. 106r-108r, Razzi transmits the text and tenor melody for ‘Si ch’io lo vo’ lodar Santo Feliciano’.

note: lauda re. St. Catherine martyr

note: CattinCC, 196-7. Music & text of cc. ed. Mancuso, 523-9. Alternate cc. for ‘Alla morte’ = carnival song, ‘Temporal fuor di natura’, which may be the original text of this music. See ‘Peccatori Maria’ as modo proprio (M365).

note: related to settings of ‘Ora mai che fora son’ (see as cc.). Variant arr. of ‘Ora mai’ melody transmitted in Rz1563 with above lauda text; ed. WilsonHM (all 4 versions of ‘Ora mai’ melodic settings); Mancuso, 361-4. See also CattinNR,224-6.

note: MaceyB, 41f . Rz1563 ed. w/’O maligno’ text on MaceyB, 42-3, and in MaceyS, 6-8; music & text also ed. in Mancuso, 470-7. Cf. ‘Siam galanti di Valenza’ (Canzona de’ Profumi) as cc. for ‘O maligno’; the cantus & carnival song text are transmitted in BR230. On Lorenzo’s lauda, see ‘O maligno’ as a lauda, with cc. = ‘Siam galanti di Valenza’.

note: Savonarolan lauda, w/rubric in M365: ‘nella morte de fra N. a modo proprio’. See MaceyB, 129-31 (w/translation, music, and CD recording). Music ed. MaceyS, 86 (text ed. & trans. liv-lv); Mancuso, 402-4.

note: music & text (of 1st strope) ed. Mancuso, 564-6, where he mistakenly indicates that, beginning with the 2nd stanza of this Christmas hymn (‘Nil canitur suavius’) the many subsequent stanzas of this hymn transmitted by Razzi on fols. 97v-98r constitute an ‘alternate text’. Razzi’s attribution of the hymn to San Bernardo is not generally accepted. The usual title is ‘Dulcis Jesu memoria’. The Latin text is transmitted in older laudarios, like BNF, Fondo Naz. II.IX.140, fol. 52v.

note: music & text ed. Mancuso, 523-9, who attributes the poem to Pandolfini. 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); 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 of Razzi’s lauda ed. Mancuso, 611--15. This may well be the original music, or at least the popular melody, for the secular text of the cc.

note: See MaceyB, 109-112; CattinCC, 194-5. Music ed. in MaceyS, 69-70. Savonarola lauda written in 1484 as prayer for church upon death of Pope Sixtus IV. Cf. Leggiadra damigella & Molto m’annoia as cc. sources for Belcari’s Jesù sommo diletto.
