Partitions

[1] Regina coeli

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. Chant (App. 3) appears with the texts “regina coeli” in C, “quia quem meruisti” (B tacet) wherein it permeates the imitative texture, and “resurrexit” in B. Textual phrases are delineated by contrasts of texture, number of voices, mensuration and a refrain; the opening section “regina…alleluia” in triple mensuration and homorhythmic style is restated after the other two partes (“resurrexit” includes the 3rd and 4th lines, but omits the “alleluia” that follows the 3rd line) that are in duple mensuration and contrapuntal style. The latter two sections are harmonically open (C final); the refrain concludes the antiphon (“Regina coeli repete ut supra”).[1] Declamatory text setting prevails. Final F, b♭ signature.

1. Aichinger’s use of the first line of Regina coeli as a refrain is unique to the repertoire of this antiphon.

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.
