Rz1563 (a4)

note: text and music ed. Mancuso, 670-9. See also as cc. for several other laude in Rz1563. Given the form, style, and awkwardness of text underlay, this is almost certainly a contrafactum of an early madrigal.

note: Castellani’s lauda is transmitted in R196 without a cc., but Cattin notes the similarity of incipt and rhyme scheme with his own sacred carnival song, most likely the poetic model and assumed cc. source.

note: RostirollaB, 712; Carboni-ZiinoLM, 279. Music ed. Mancuso, no. 47 (Rz1563); RostirollaTL, 28 (which differs from the setting in Rz1563); RC395 (tenor only, which matches tenor of Rz1563). Cc. text attr. to A. Bettini in M365. Ferr84 melody is a version of Razzi’s melody; both ed. in Carboni-ZiinoLM, 329. 1589/2 transmits a3 setting identical to Anim1577, except with shortened cadential melismas for the first stanza, and (as in Rz1563) a musically independent ‘seconda parte’ for the 2nd stanza. See ‘Io mi trovo’ as modo proprio. The Roman sources transmit and set to music only the refrain text of ‘Io mi trovo’, which in this condition is used as a formally compatible singing model for laude with the form of CapQ (AbbA...).
