[1] Regina celi

Polyphonic ensemble STB

[C]-C2; T-F3; [B]-F4. Chant, relegated to T as a cantus firmus, primarily comprises long-note values (longae, breves, and semibreves) and may reflect an alternate reading of the chant.[1] Within a contrapuntal fabric the outer voices share rhythmic gestures with occasional brief imitative passages. The two texted voices (C and T) exhibit little concern for text underlay; a text incipit defines the “instrumental” B. Text incipits designate all voices of “Ora pro nobis.” Final F, B includes b♭ signature but editorial insertions (b♭) are necessary for C ant T.

1. An alternate version of Regina caeli in Antiffanarium [Augustense] per circulum anni edited by Sixtus Haug, Augsburg (E. Ratdolt), 1495, f. [a4]v (EDM 80, p. 70) omits the concluding melisma of “laetare” and the second “portare” melisma, and includes variant readings of the first, second and third “alleluias.”
[2] Ora pro nobis

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.
