[1] Regina coeli

Polyphonic ensemble

The anonymous composer quotes the cantus of Ockeghem’s D’un autre amer[1] an octave lower with minimal changes in A of Regina coeli for each pars.

1. Johannes Ockeghem, Collected Works, edited by Richard Wexler with Dragan Plamenac, Vol. 3, (Boston, E. C. Schirmer, 1992), No. 3.

D’un aultre amer mon cueur s’abesseroit; / If I loved any other, my heart would sink;
Il ne fault je penser que je l’estrange / Be it never thought that I could stray
Ne que pour rien de ce propos me change, / Or ever from this purpose be diverted,
Car mon honneur en appetisseroit. / For my honor would thus be diminished.

Je l’aime tant que jamais ne seroit / I so love her that never could it be
Possible a moi de consenter l’eschange. / Possible to consent to such a diversion.
D’un aultre… / If I loved any other…

La mort, par Dieu, avant me desferoit / Death, by God, would sooner destroy me
Qu’en mon vivant j’acoinctasse un estrange. / Than could I enjoin myself to a stranger whilst I live:
Ne cuide nul qu’a cela je me range; / Let none think I could yield to that;
Ma leauté trop fort se mesferoit. / My faithfulness would not allow it.
D’un aultre… / If I loved any other…

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.
