Scores

Regina coeli

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. Chant (App. 3) appears as a measured incipit, “regina caeli” (6 semibreves) in B and for the phrase “ora pro nobis Deum” (T), also in semibreves; the latter embedded within the texture. Gastoldi presents accompanying new material within a homorhythmic texture (minums, dotted minums and semiminums) and contrasting brief imitative passages, a style comparable to that of the composer’s balletti. Declamatory style prevails in this brief setting (30 mm.). 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.
