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.
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.
