RC075 Regina caeli 7 vv

Partitions

Regina caeli

Polyphonic ensemble SSATTBB

[S I]-C1; [S II]-C1; [A]-C3; [T I]-C4; [T II]-C4; [B I]-F4; [B II]-F4. Chant (App. 3), relegated to T-II as a cantus firmus and frequently notated in breves and semibreves, influences other voices only with initial pitches of textual phrases “quia quem” and “ora…Deum.” The two B voices frequently engage in imitation of disjunct motives limited to those voices (cf. RC072). The words “quia” and “ora” are separated by silence from the remainder of the respective textual phrases. Declamatory text setting prevails. Final F, b♭ signature.

Description

Renaissance composers infrequently created works for seven voices; Festa’s Regina caeli was mostly likely composed to commemorate the Seven Dolours of the BVM.

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.
