Full title / Other titles

RC145 Regina caeli 4 vv

Type

Motet

Scores

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-C1; A-C2; T-C3; B-F3. Chant (App. 3) is assigned to a canon at the upper fourth and distance of three semibreves between A and C; except for “regina caeli,” “portare” and “sicut dixit” for which the chant is set apart in semibreves, the rhythmic character of the canonic voices is comparable to the lower voices which disclose limited chant influence. 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.
