General Information

Title: Regali ex progenie
Composer: Adam of Fulda

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: SATB

Genre: SacredMotet

Language: Latin
Instruments: A cappella

Published: 1500

Description: An unusual, four-part 15th-century Christmas Lied from the Nicholas Apel Codex (c.1500) with a cantus firmus in the Tenor, against a melodic phrase, set initially in imitation, in the other three voices. Throughout the piece, the melody is repeated in the upper two voices with rhythmic and slight melodic variation. While there is little harmonic motion, the piece beautifully develops tension throughout until the conclusion. The vocal lines have long, extended melismae on single syllables, typical of the period.
