Type

Motet

Scores

Regina caeli

Polyphonic ensemble TTTB

Ti I-C1; T II-C1; T-C3; B-F3. Chant (App. 3) occurs only with text “regina caeli” and introduces each voice within an imitative texture. The remainder of this short piece (47 mm.) consists of new material. Textual phrases are clearly defined through cadences and textural contrasts. The second “alleluia” segment consists of descending sequential passages involving the entire texture. Brief chromatic insertions prepare cadences (m. 13 and m. 38). Declamatory text setting prevails. Final F, b♭ signature.

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.
