| Laudes de BMV |
The Laudes de BMV are usually formed by a votive antiphon, often with tropes (verses); sometimes the antiphon is followed by a versicle and collect. In addition to the chants mentioned here, there are other Marian chants that can figure as votive antiphon.
The Laudes Mariae according to Mariakerk Utrecht are in NL-Uu 418 (fol 171v), NL-Uu 410 (fol. 194r), NL-Uu 411 (fol. 181r). The prescriptions are: in Easter Tide: Regina celi; during the rest of the year there is an antiphon for each day of the week: sabbato: Salve regina; Dominicis diebus: Alma redemptoris; feria ii: Quam pulchra es; feria iii: Ave regina celorum; feria iv: Nigra sum sed formosa ...sicut tabernacula ...; feria v: Ferculum fecit sibi rex salomon; feria vi: Tota pulchra es.
Ms B-Br 4860, fols. 76v-84v, contains:
Laudes de domina: Ant. Alma redemptoris with verses
Salve virgo spes reorum, Salve virgo nec morare
and Salve virgo deo grata.
