Abstract
in the poetical and prosaic works of Lorenzo de Medici the
Magnificent. Mention is made of the significant position of
Lorenzo’s works in the Florentine literature of the late 15th
century. It reveals the influence on his musical and poetical
development of his mother Lucrezia Tornabuoni and a few other
people from his milieu. Mention is made of his grasp of practical
musical skills and involvement in the art of song, much more wellgrounded
than the other members of the Medici family. As the
result of a thorough examination of sections of Lorenzo’s poems,
his novelette, carnival triumph and his own commentaries to his
sonnets containing mention of song genres, musical instruments
and types of music, the conclusion is arrived at regarding their
perfect correspondence to the practical conditions of music and
the views of the Florentine humanists.
Keywords: Lorenzo di Medici the Magnificent, canzona,
carnival song
