[1] Ave regina coelorum

Polyphonic ensemble SSAATTBB

Two contrasting choirs. Choir I: C-C1; A-C2; T-C3; B-C4. Range, c-d’’. Choir II: C-C3; A-C4; T-C4; B-F4. Range, F-a’. The basso per l’organo is a basso seguente.[1] No evidence of chant. Textual/musical sections are clearly defined by cadences, silence, or mensural contrasts. “Gaude…speciosa” in triple mensuration[2] exhibits homophonic texture. In the opening and closing sections contrapuntal texture dominates. The Pre-Tridentine text, except for “salve radix et porta,” is set in declamatory style. Strong tonal implications prevail. Final D (1.p.), F (2.p.), b♭ signature.

1. “It is possible that the basso per l’organo might have been published in the early seventeenth century and supplied with a date close to the year when the vocal part-books first appeared in print.” Richard Charteris, Giovanni Bassano, Opera omnia. CMM 101. Vol. 1, p. XIV. (Middleton, WI: AIM, 1999).

2. To emphasize textual/musical structure and complement trochaic prosody of “gaude…speciosa,” triple mensuration and homophony defines Ave regina caelorum settings by G. Aichinger (AC002 & AC003), F. Anerio (AC006), G. Bassano (AC016 & AC017), A. Gabrieli (AC047), R. de Lassus (AC072), G. de Macque (AC076), G. P. Palestrina (AC099), P. Philip (AC106), E. Saÿve (AC121), F. Soriano (AC123), F. Stivori (AC126), T. Victoria (AC136), Anon (AC170), Anon (AC184) and F. Anerio (AC232).

Ave, regina caelorum,
