Partitions

Regina celi

Polyphonic ensemble STB

S-G2; T-C3; B-F3. High clefs. Entire range, B♭-g’’. Paraphrased chant (App. 3), transposed a fifth higher, serves as canon between T and A at the unison and the distance of two breves; chant quotations appear in the S and B at the beginning of textual phrases within an imitative, contrapuntal texture. The “alleluia” section that follows “regina…letare” (mm. 13-20) is repeated (mm. 33-40) following “quia…portare.” The final “alleluia” also involves repetition of material: mm. 80-7 is a varied statement of mm. 70-77. Though brief in duration, the simultaneous use of e’, f’ and g’ in mm. 17 and 37 should be noted. Text setting combines syllabic and melismatic styles with limited concern for text underlay. Final C.

Editions:
- SCM Vol. 3 No. 42 [Selections from Motetti Libro quarto (Venice, 1505). Edited by Richard Sherr. Sixteenth-Century Music 3. New York: Routledge, 1991.]

1. Erroneously attributed to Johannes Mouton in José Llorens, Capellae Sixtinae Codices, (Cità del Vaticano: Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, 1960), 85.
2. LeRoy & Ballard’s attribution to Josquin is most likely an error. See Jeremy Noble, “Another Regina Celi Attributed to Josquin,” in From Ciconia to Sweelinck, (Amsterdam, Rodopi, 1994), 149, and Motets on Non-Biblical Texts 5, Critical Commentary, edited by Willem Elders, Vol. 25, in NJE, (Amersfoort: Koninklijke Vereniging voor Nederlandse Muziekgeschiedenis, 2006), 30.

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.
