Scores

Regina caeli

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C3; T-C3; B-F3. Although S and T include most complete statements of chant, usually in semibreves, chant (App. 3) decidedly permeates the imitative, contrapuntal texture. Textual phrases are defined by chant quotations and cadential patterns except for the last phrase “ora…Deus” that begins in the T in the middle of the previous “alleluia” section. The final “alleluia” segment (mm. 67-100) constitutes almost a third of the antiphon including repetition of full texture (mm. 91-4 equals mm. 95-8. Textual setting exhibits syllabic style at beginning of textual phrases and considerable melismatic treatment of “alleluia” sections.[1] Final F, b♭ signature.

1. A six-measure phrase in the S of RC083 (mm. 77-83) is quoted in the A (mm. 59-65) of RC084 with an abbreviuated statement in T (mm. 66-9).

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.
