Description

for SATB unaccompaniedThis hymn to the 'Queen of the Heavens' is a glorious work, replete with dramatic changes of mood and texture.

The majestic chords of the opening bars quickly give way to a spirited section in which unison altos and basses mimic the insistent flourishes of the sopranos and tenors.

This pattern of contrasts is repeated throughout the piece before the final jubilant chords fade away to a modest triple piano.

This is an approachable and rewarding motet, appropriate for the Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary in addition to Eastertide.

Regina caeli has been recorded by the renowned American choir, the Phoenix Chorale, and released on a Grammy award-winning CD by Chandos (Spotless Rose CHSA 5066)
