Guillaume Dufay: Ave regina coelorum 4vv The Hilliard Ensemble David James - countertenor Rogers Covey-Crump - tenor John Potter - tenor Gordon Jones - bass Score: Performed a tone below written pitch Ave regina coelorum, Ave domina angelorum, Miserere tui labentis Dufay, Ne peccatorum ruat in ignem fervorum. Salve radix sancta, Ex qua mundo lux est orta, Miserere, genitrix Domini, Ut pateat porta coeli, debili. Gaude gloriosa, Super omnes speciosa. Miserere supplicanti Dufay Sitque in conspectu tuo mors ejus speciosa. Vale, valde decora, Et pro nobis semper Christum exora, In excelsis ne damnemur, Miserere nobis. Et juva ut in mortis hora Nostra sint corda decora. Hail, Queen of Heaven, Hail mistress of the angels. Have mercy on thy stumbling Dufay Lest he fall into the fire which is the fate of sinners. Hail Holy root, From whom light is born into the world. Have mercy, mother of the Lord, That Heaven’s gate may be open for the weak. Rejoice, glorious (virgin), Beautiful above all. Have mercy on the petitioner Dufay That his death may be beautiful in thy sight. Hail, most beautiful of all, And ever plead for us with Christ on high that we may not be damned. Have mercy on us. And help us so that in the hour of death Our hearts may be worthy.
