[1] Regina caeli

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[S]-C1; [A]-C3; [T]-C4; [B]-F4. Regnart’s setting comprises four brief partes (13, 18, 20, and 19 measures, respectively), that rely upon chant (App. 3) to varying degrees. Although the “alleluia” sections are independent of chant, the following textual phrases manifest chant borrowings that permeate the imitative texture: “regina caeli,” “quia…meruisti,” “resurrexit…dixit” and “ora…Deum.” The second (“quia…”), third (“resurrexit…”) and final (“ora…”) textual phrases begin with invertible counterpoint. Declamatory text setting in syllabic style 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.
