note: ‘Laudate’ in Pal117 & Gall2 without cc., but probably a modo proprio, since it serves as a cc. for other laude in both sources. On this lauda, see CummingsP, 143-7 (texts of Belcari’s ‘Cristo ver’ and its cc. ‘Laudate il sommo Dio’ ed. 145, music on 146-7 w/ text of ‘Laudate’). The text and music of ‘Laudate’ are called for in Belcari’s sacra rappresentazione, the Festa di San Felice; according to BecheriniSR, 201, the lauda was also sung in the Rappresentazione dell’Annunciazione attributed to Belcari. Music w/Belcari’s text ed. Mancuso, 416-20. The secular text, ‘Perchè son io si bella’, that serves as a cc. for ‘Laudate il sommo Dio’, may be the original text for the music preserved in Razzi.
