The hymn tune REGINA CAELI (used for ‘Be joyful, Mary, heav’nly Queen’) is attributed to Johann Leisentritt’s Catholicum hymnologium Germanicum (1584). But in the original 1584 edition, I can’t find it.
I’m probably not looking right… Does someone know where in Catholicum hymnologium Germanicum the hymn tune may be found?
A quick look indicated three editions of this work. Perhaps it ented in a later edition. I consulted Higginson who says it appears in Vol. II of Baumker.
