Commentary

Intabulation of polyphony by Mateo Flecha “el viejo”. No original version of the polyphony survives. The text is cited as the last two verses of a humorous poem [chiste] by Juan Fernández de Heredia “Soy garridica / y biuo penada” from E:Mn Mss 5593, ed. in Marino, El Cancionero de Valencia, 170-174 (that also lists numerous other concordances from Frenk, Nuevo Corpus I:190.) Thie historical background to the text is explained in flecha2013, 47-49. Salinas, p. 318, quotes the text incipit.
