Ti-C2; A-C2; T-C4; B-F4. A Spanish version of the chant,[1] most completely stated in the Ti, permeates the imitative, contrapuntal texture. Escobar’s source for the chant may have been of local origin since it differs in some respects from the cited version. Syllabic text setting occurs at beginning of textual phrases; melismatic style prevails for the remainder of phrases.

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.
