Scores

[1] Ave regina caelorum

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C4; A-C4; T-C4; B-F4. Voci pari. Range, F-f’. Chant (App. 2), at times paraphrased, and new material permeate the texture within an imitative, contrapuntal texture. Of interest are passages of 1st-inversion chords (mm. 23-5, 38-41 and 101-4) where the chant melody is doubled at the interval of a fourth. Pre-Tridentine text primarily defined by melismatic style. The 3.p. in triple mensuration contrasts with 1.p. and 2.p. in duple mensuration. Final F, b♭ signature.

[2] Gaude gloriosa

[3] Valde decora
