Comments:
This song appears in W alone but is found as the duplum of a motet with tenor Agmina in multiple other manuscripts (Cuesta 717). The melody in W does not match its phrases exactly to the verses of the text: the text has 30 verses while the melody (based on the text's punctuation in W) has 26 phrases. The first ten verses are paired to form the first five musical phrases, verses 13-14 are also combined into one musical phrase, and verses 20 and 25 of the text are divided into two musical phrases each. Anglés's transcription differs from mine and Cuesta's in several places: Phrase 1, he adds a descending plica on the final note; phrase 2, note group 11 (binaria) he has a descending plica on the second note; phrase 3, Anglés reads the fourth note as E instead of D as in Cuesta's transcription (the note is notated slightly higher than the preceeding D, and is given here as E); phrase 6 Anglés has notes 4-7 transposed a step down as G F G F instead of A G A G; phrase 7, Anglés has notes 1-4 transposed down a step as G G F G and with note 5 missing; Anglés shifts the C ending phrase 14 to be the first note of phrase 15; phrase 16, he has a plica on note 4; phrase 17, Anglés gives an ascending plica on the final note which agrees with the manuscript but does not appear in Cuesta. It is not included in Elizabeth Aubrey's corpus of study in Music of the Troubadours because of its appearances in motets. (Aubrey 1996, 257) .
