Ave regina caelorum

Polyphonic ensemble SATBBXXX

Two contrasting choirs. Chr. I: C-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. Range, G-e’’. Chr. II: Sp-C3; Q-C4; O-C4; B II-F4. Range, G-g’. No evidence of chant. Textual phrases are defined by cadences, antiphonal techniques and contrasting mensurations. Except for tutti statements of “Ave caelorum,” “angelorum,” a reiteration of “gaude gloriosa” and the final “exora,” the remaining text is relegated to independent choirs. Homophonic texture prevails; triple mensuration defines “gaude gloriosa.”[1] The Pre-Tridentine text is set in declamatory style. Choirs are harmonically independent. Note juxtaposition of A and C major chords (m. 27) and strong tonal implications. Final G.

1. 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,
Ave, domina angelorum:
Salve, radix, salve, porta,
Ex qua mundo lux est orta:

Gaude, virgo gloriosa,
Super omnes speciosa,
Vale, o valde decora,
Et pro nobis Christum exora.
