[1] Regina celi

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[C]-C3; A-C4; T-C4; B-F4. Entire range, F-a’. C and B have specific ranges with limited voice crossing; on the other hand, the two middle voices share similar ranges with considerable voice crossing. Chant (App. 3), primarily in semibreves, introduces each of the four lines within an imitative, polyphonic texture: “regina celi letare,” mm. 1-17; “quia quem,” mm. 25-20; “resurrexit sicut dixit,” mm. 68-78; “ora pro nobis,” mm. 88-99. Chant quotations associated with “letare” and “portare” (mm. 37-41) are limited to initial pitches of the respective melismas. “Alleluia” sections following the first two lines paraphrase the initial pitches of plainsong; the final “alleluia” quotes initial pitches of the chant melisma in C and T (mm. 100-5). Combination of melismatic and syllabic styles define the text setting. Final F, b♭ signature.

[2] Resurrexit

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.
