Scores

[1] Regina caeli

Polyphonic ensemble SST

C I-C1; C II-C1; T-C3. Chant (App. 3) introduces each verse either in one voice (e.g., “regina coeli” in C I) or through imitative entires in all voices (e.g., “quia…meruisti” and the following “alleluia,” mm. 16-24). Within an imitative, contrapuntal fabric the text setting primarily exhibits declamatory style with melismas for “laetare” and a substantial portion of the four “alleluias.” Final F, b♭ signature.

2. Aichinger composed a setting of Regina coeli for two solo voices and continuo published in Corolla eucharistica… (Augsburg: J. Praetorius, 1621). RISM A 4548. A modern edition is available in Gregor Aichinger The Vocal Concertos, edited by William E. Hettrick, Vols. 54 and 55, No. 11, in RRMB, (Madison: A-R Editions, Inc., 1986).

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.
