[S I]-C1; [S II]-C1; [A]-C1; [T]-C2. Voci pari. Range, g-d’’. Chant (App. 3) influences the structure of Festa’s setting. Initial pitches of textual phrases include chant frequently in semibreves within an imitative texture; the “alleluia” sections allude to chant but for the most part consist of new material. Text setting combines syllabic style with occasional lengthy melismas. 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.
