Gherardo d’Astore
note: No music survives with the text of ‘O benigno Signore’, but it is a cc. for at least two laude with traceable musical settings in Rz1563, ‘Alma che si gentile’, and ‘Signore, soccorr’ et aita’. ‘Alma che sì gentile/ti fe’ is a ballata grande w/rhyme scheme identical to ‘Deh dolce redentore’ (music in Rz1563; see reconstruction in MaceyS, 71-9), and ‘Deh dolce redentore’ & ‘O benigno Signore’ both serve as cc. for ‘Signore, soccorr’ et aita’. Antonio’s text ed. LanzaLT, i, 188-9.
