Regina coeli (Queen of Heaven) is a latin verse and chant for the Easter Holidays.
In the spirit of 2016's Easter, I made this composition for regular SATB choir with the following syntax:
The sentences of the verse before every "alleluia" are repeated twice. Firstly forte, then piano (as an echo).
The "allaluia" parts are trying to follow the same harmonies and structure.
I deem this piece as a minimalist-styled choral, because it's simple rhithmics, harmonies, and modesty.
Recorded with Garritan Instruments' choir soundbanks.
