| Abstract: | Four Marian Antiphons - Alma Redemptoris Mater, Ave Regina Caelorum, Regina Caéli, and Salve Regina - are plainchants written approximately during the twelfth century for use at the close of Compline in the Roman Catholic liturgy of the Divine Office. These plainchants were assigned to specific times in the liturgical year: Alma Redemptoris Mater, first Sunday in Advent until the Feast of Purification, February 2; Ave Regina Caelorum, following the close of the Feast of Purification until the Holy Thursday of Lent; Regina Caéli, following Compline of Holy Saturday until the Saturday after Pentecost; Salve Regina, Trinity Sunday to the evening before Advent Sunday. This paper is a survey of organ compositions based on one of the Marian Antiphons, and includes a critique of each piece as to their compositional style and technical difficulty. The works span the years between the fifteenth century and 2019. Over two hundred-five works were found. |
