[1] Regina celi

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[C]-C1; [A]-C3; [T]-C3; [B]-F3. “Regina celi” intonation (C). Chant introduces each pars either in long note values (3.p.) or paraphrase of plainsong that permeates the imitative, contrapuntal texture; chant also emphasizes specific words (e.g.; “sicut dixit”) and “alleluia” segments. Partes are differentiated through contrasting mensuration, rhythmic activity and textural density. Triple and duple mensuration, respectively, define partes 1 & 3 and 2 & 4. Pars 3, the most transparent verset, highly indebted to plainsong, opens with imitative entries primarily in breves and semibreves (mm. 31-44). On the other hand, the other partes consist of lively rhythmic gestures; pars 4 is entirely contructed of minums, semiminums and fusae. Text underlay is of minimal concern by scribe. Final F, b♭ signature.

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.
