No.78 (Christopher Tye => Phillippe Verdelot) "Madona (Madonna somm'accorto)"

Dow attributes this piece to Tye, but DIAMM says it is apparently by Verderot, and is also included in GB-Lbl Add. MS. 31390, but the composer's name is not given there.

The next topic is the song title of this song. Dow simply says "Madona.

Mus-984

The DIAMM description goes into a little more detail with "Madonna somm'accorto". In the GB-Lbl Add. MS. 31390, which I mentioned earlier, it is "Madona su mia corto". Other examples are "Madonna" in GB-Lbl Add. MS 4900 and "Madona" in GB-Lbl Add. MS 22597, and I could not tell where DIAMM got "somm'acorto" from.
