AC060 Ave regina coelorum 4 vv

Scores

Ave regina coelorum

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. A freely paraphrased chant (App. 2) is relegated to the C while the lower voices are engaged in independent material within a polyphonic fabric. A full voice texture with overlapping phrases defines the antiphon. The Pre-Tridentine text is altered with substitution of “ave” instead of “gaude” in C, A and T. The declamatory text setting includes melismas primarily for the opening salutation of each textual phrase. 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,
