Partitions

Regina coeli

Polyphonic ensemble SSSAAATTTBBB

Three contrasting choirs. Chr. I: C-G2[1]; A-C2; T-C3; B-C4. Range, c g’’(?). Chr. II: C-G2; A-C1; T-C2; B-C3. Range, f-g’’. Chr. III, C-C1; A-C2; T-C3; B-F3. Range, c-c’’. High clefs. Initial pitches of chant (App. 3) associated with each of the four textual lines appear in one voice of each choir (e.g., “Regina coeli,” Chr. I, T in breves, Chr. II, C in breves and semibreves, Chr. III, T as breve and semibreves, all pitched on C). Textual phrases and specific words are delineated through antiphonal technniques equally distributed between the three choirs. Asola explores contrast of tone color of the three choirs as well as various choir combinations; tutti segments total only 9 measures. An extended “alleluia” section in triple mensuration (mm. 71-85) concludes the antiphon. Choirs are musically and harmonically independent. A descending passage in parallel fifths between B of Chr. II and T of Chr. III occurs in mm. 81-2. Final C.

1. Asola’s Ave regina coeli (AC013) for three choirs, also published in Asola 1599, includes identical high clefs for the other eleven voices to suggest that his Regina coeli likely has the same clef arrangement.

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.
