In search of a Regina Caeli hymn

    Good evening (or good morning),

    I am just back from the Chartres pilgrimage and I am in search of a Regina Coeli that was sung at the end of Sunday's mass. It is a very lively song, with the first verse used as a response for the others and repeated each time.

    It would make something like that :

    Regina Caeli laetare, alleluia, alleluia
    Do Fa Fa Sol fa sol la fa do, (I don't remember the alleluias' music)
    Regina Caeli laetare, alleluia
    Do fa fa sol fa Sol la do do, sol la si la sol Fa.

    Is it familiar to anyone ?

    I would like to introduce it next year to my parish as an Easter recessory hymn.

    No, movable do. I am afraid I made a slight mistake : it's a si b, not a "normal" si. I wrote the precedent message just from memory, I am sorry.

    It seemed to be a kind of "trad hit", so I thought someone here might just see what it could be at first sight. However, I couldn't find with YouTube because the the main results are the gregorian chant.

    I would try looking up the specific liturgy. The Pontifical Mass, for example, is easily googleable ("Chartres pilgrimage regina") and has the simple tone Regina is at 2:32'.
