Scores

[1] Quia quem meruisti

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[C]-C1; [A]-C3; [T]-C4; [B]-F4. Alternatim setting. Chant (App. 3) appears intact at beginning of “quia quem” set apart in semibreves, and “ora…Deum” primarily in minums within an imitative, contrapuntal texture. The two partes are almost of equal length (1.p., 32 mm and 2.p., 34 mm.); however, the “alleluia” segments that comprise nearly two thirds of the motet (40 mm.) exhibit an unequal distribution in the two partes (1.p., 16 mm.; 2.p., 24 mm.); the “alleluia” of the 2.p. consists of a repeated 12-measure format (mm. 53-63 equals mm. 42-53. A declamatory text setting in syllabic style prevails. Final F, b♭ signature.
[2] Ora pro nobis

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

Description

Regina caeli laetare, alleluia;
Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,

Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.

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.
