Scores

Regina caeli

Polyphonic ensemble SATBB

[S]-C2; [A]-C2; [T]-C4; [B I]-F4; [B II]-F4. Chant (App. 3), relegated to the T as a cantus firmus, frequently appears in longer note values (semibreves) than the accompanying contrapuntal material; chant casts limited influence upon other voices. Motivic material imitated by the two B voices also appears in the two upper voices for the first textual phrase “regina caeli laetare.” Declamatory text setting prevails. Final F, b♭ signature.

Regina caeli laetare, alleluia;
Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,
Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia,
Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.

The Trope:

Alle Domine nate matris Deus alme nobis confer praestaque vivere:
Quam [quoniam] te decet laus honor O Domine qui de morte surgebas rex pie:
Fac nos tecum surgere, alleluia.
