Alleluia, Op. 23 by Pascal Picard — Lyrics
Regina coeli laetare, Alleluia.
Quia quem meruisti portare, Alleluia.
[Iam] Resurrexit sicut dixit, Alleluia.
Ora pro nobis Deum. Alleluia.

Ora pro nobis rogamus, alleluia.

About Alleluia, Op. 23
Pascal Picard's setting of the Regina coeli text is a vibrant SATBB composition in Latin. The text, a Marian antiphon, rejoices in the Resurrection of Christ and the Virgin Mary's role as Queen of Heaven. The composer captures the celebratory nature of the lyrics, with the jubilant "Alleluia" recurring throughout. The SATBB voicing allows for rich harmonic possibilities, exploring the joyful message of the text with clarity and devotion. This is a profound setting suitable for a variety of sacred occasions, reflecting the Easter season and the praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
