Scores

Ave regina caelorum

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. Initial pitches of chant in lower voices anticipate the paraphrased chant (App. 2) primarily relegated to the C. Within an imitative, polyphonic texture constructed of overlapping phrases, the Pre-Tridentine text appears in a combination of melismatic and syllabic styles. Final F, b♭ signature.

Ave, regina caelorum,
Ave, domina angelorum:
Salve, radix, salve, porta,
Ex qua mundo lux est orta:

Gaude, virgo gloriosa,
Super omnes speciosa,
Vale, o valde decora,
Et pro nobis Christum exora.
