General Information

Title: Amor mi fa cantar a la Francesca
Composer: Anonymous
Lyricist:

Number of voices: 1v   Voicing: solo voice

Genre: SecularBallata

Language: Italian
Instruments: A cappella

First published: c1370 Rossi ms. (formerly I-Rvat 215) fol. 18v

Description: Although centuries lie between this work and Monteverdi's Dolcissimo uscignolo with its rubric "cantato a voce piena, alla francese", it's tempting to understand the first line as a pun on "Francesca"/ full throated vocalization, notwithstanding the poet's intention of keeping his feelings to himself.

Amor mi fa cantar a la Francesca!

Perchè questo m'aven non o so dire
Chè quella donna che me fa languire.
Temo che non verebe a la mia trescha.

A lei sum fermo celar el mi core,
E consumarmi inanci per so amore,
Ch'al men moro per cosa gentilesca.

Donne, di vero dirve posso tanto
Che questa donna, per cui piango e canto,
È come rosa in spin morbida e fresca.
