CS1547

note: RostirollaB, 691. Dated 1611 in CS1548. Lincoln, 755, identifies it as a madrigal, despite its publication in Gardano’s Il quarto libro delle laudi (1591/3).

note: a3 setting of cc. preserved in M108, and text transmitted in several sources of probable Florentine provenance, including RA2435, p.161, where the form is 5:11 (abbbc).

note: lauda re. S. Apollonia; cc. ‘per i Novizi’. Mancuso, 104 suggests that the text and melody of ‘Lo fraticello’ are modeled on ‘La pastorella si leva per tempo’, preserved in the mid-16thc. Florentine ms. M108. Text & music of cc. ed. Mancuso, no. 64.

note: lauda re. St. Catherine, virgin martyr. Cc. also called ‘Monica’; see NGD, ‘Monica’, on the history of this Renaissance folksong.

note: rubric in CS1547: ‘I pastori fatto riverenza si partono cantando per via questa lauda’. Cc. text with music a3 in Razzi’s autograph ms., Pal173, fols. 14v-15r (‘Misera me che invan di doglio’), where Razzi relates that the 3-part music was ‘composta sopra un canto, che l’autore senti una volta cantare da’ certi fanciullette, andando fuori a di porto...la musica a tre voci non è se non vaga e bella.’ The music, as it turns out, is a varied setting of ‘Che bella vita ha il mondo’, the 3-part music of which Razzi used in Rz1563. The latter is a Str:11, and the setting in Pal173 has been modified to accommodate a short refrain, ‘Poverina me’. Given the late date of the cc. source, it may also refer to S. Casentini’s madrigal ‘Misero in van mi doglio’, publ. by Gardano in Venice, 1561; see Lincoln, 141.

note: lauda re. S. Bastiano
