Type

Motet

Scores

Regina celi

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C1; T-C1; B-C3. Voci pari. Range, f-f’’. Chant (App. 3) permeates the texture at the beginning of each textual phrase as well as “portare,” the final word of second phrase. A continuous texture with elision of textual/musical phrases follows the initial point of imitation (“regina caeli”) with all entries on f. The final “alleluia” constitutes a third of the motet (mm. 84-121). Syllabic text setting associated with initial words of textual phrases is succeeded by melismatic style particularly regarding “alleluia” segments. 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.
