Happy Easter!

    • Regina Caeli 
    “Joy to thee, O Queen of Heaven.” Although the author of the Regina Caeli is not known, it is believed to have been written sometime between the ninth and the twelfth centuries. It is short, delicate, celebratory, and regal—drawing attention to, and capturing, what was Mary’s joy in the resurrection of her Son. The Regina Caeli is traditionally sung during Eastertide, from Holy Saturday right up through the Saturday after Pentecost, and is to be sung “in choro,” or standing. 
    A lovely legend suggests that St. Gregory the Great heard its first three lines chanted by angels on a certain Easter morning in Rome while walking barefoot in a procession. He was so inspired, the story goes, that he was moved to add the fourth line, “Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.” The Regina Caeli remains one of the most beloved of the chant repertoire, and it takes its seat alongside the Salve Regina as one of the most celebrated Marian hymns.

    Misspelling -- it's Regina coeli (not "caeli") -- a mistake becoming more frequent thanks to the misspelled website "Rorate Caeli" (should be Rorate coeli).

    St. Paul's letter to the Philippians, 2:8-9 is first touched on in Wednesday's Mass in Holy Week (Introit), then gets the full treatment as heard in the video below, in Holy Thursday's High Mass chant.
    .
    Graduale for Maundy Thursday Mass (this chant is copied in Protestant gatherings and other venues - keeping it in Latin!):
    .
    Christus factus est pro nobis obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem Crucis.
    V. Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum: et dedit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen.
    .
    Christ became obedient for us unto death, even to the death of the cross.
    For which cause, God also hath exalted Him and hath given Him a Name which is above all names.

    .
    A very impressive traditional Catholic Gregorian Chant setting.
    .

    .
    It seems to me this chant is appropriate for many occasions throughout the year, and while it might seem a little out of place on Easter Sunday, having been the topic of "last week," still, it is a work that takes a lot of practice to sing well, and so you need more than one or two days to master it. It takes time to grow on you. When you hear it three or four times a year, it starts to become addictive. So watch out! 
    .
    Once your audience gets familiar with it, they'll love to hear it again, like on Corpus Christi, the Feast of the Sacred Heart, or in September for the Exaltation of the Holy Cross or the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of Our Lady (Sept. 15th, or Friday in Passion Week).

    Regina coeli laetare,
    Alleluia,
    Quia quem meruisti portare.
    Alleluia,
    Resurrexit,
    Sicut dixit,
    Alleluia.
    Ora pro nobis Deum.
    Alleluia.
    .
    Rejoice, O Queen of Heaven, Alleluia,
    For He Whom thou didst merit to bear, Alleluia,
    Hath risen as He said, Alleluia.
    Pray for us to God, Alleluia.

    Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, Alleluia.
    Because the Lord is truly risen, Alleluia.

    The traditional concluding versicle and collect, which are not part of the original antiphon, are also given below.

    REGINA, coeli, laetare, alleluia:
    Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,
    Resurrexit sicut dixit, alleluia.
    Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.    		O QUEEN of heaven rejoice! alleluia:
    For He whom thou didst merit to bear, alleluia,
    Hath arisen as he said, alleluia.
    Pray for us to God, alleluia.
    V. Gaude et laetare, Virgo Maria, alleluia,
    R. Quia surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia.    		V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.
    R. Because the Lord is truly risen, alleluia.
    Oremus
    Deus, qui per resurrectionem Filii tui, Domini nostri Iesu Christi, mundum laetificare dignatus es: praesta, quaesumus; ut, per eius Genetricem Virginem Mariam, perpetuae capiamus gaudia vitae. Per eumdem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.    		Let us pray
    O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; grant, we beseech Thee, that through His Mother, the Virgin Mary, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
    .
    I forgot to mention that we pray the Regina coeli instead of the Angelus every day during this season.
    .
    When prayed in a group (two or more) the Alleluias are the response in this first part:
    .
    O QUEEN of heaven rejoice!                 Alleluia:
    For He whom thou didst merit to bear,   Alleluia,
    Hath arisen as he said,                          Alleluia.
    Pray for us to God,                                 Alleluia.
    .
    Then the V. line is the versicle and the R. line is the responsory.
    .
    V. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, Alleluia.
    R. Because the Lord is truly risen, Alleluia.
    .
    Finally, everyone joins in in the last part, that is, those who have a copy or have memorized it:
    .
    Let us pray:
    O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; grant, we beseech Thee, that through His Mother, the Virgin Mary, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
    .
    Another translation has this:
    O God, Who by the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, hast been pleased to fill the world with joy; grant, we beseech Thee, that by the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may receive the joys of eternal life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
