RC177 Regina coeli 6 vv

Partitions

Regina coeli

Polyphonic ensemble SATTB

S-C1; A-C3; T I-C4; T II-F3; B-F4. Chant, occasionally ornamented, appears within a canon at the upper fifth and distance of three breves between T II and C II. The repeated “alleluia” segments follow the first three textual phrases but the second “alleluia” appears in T I (mm. 32-3) instead of the canonic voices.[1] Initial pitches associated with “resurrexit” and “ora pro nobis” as well a countersubject permeate the imitative texture. Declamatory text setting prevails. Final F, b♭ signature.

1. Porta appears to have used a chant version for Regina caeli that includes identical melodic content for “alleluia” segments following the first three textual phrases in this setting but also in RC176 and RC177. The pitch content is comparable to the first melisma of “portare” as well as the “alleluia” that follows “resurrexit…dixit.”

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.
