Ave Regina Caelorum - solemn tone
From NewAdvent.org: The Ave Regina Caelorum is one of four Antiphons of the Blessed Virgin sung in the Divine Office in turn throughout the year, and is assigned from Compline of February 2nd to Compline of Holy Wednesday. It recalls the part Mary had in the drama of the reopening of Heaven to men and shows her as reigning there Queen of Angels. Its date of composition is uncertain, but... [it's earliest appearance is] found in the St. Alban's Book of the twelfth century. ... Bernard [Le Breviaire (Paris, 1887), II, 454 sqq.] says it was introduced into the Divine Office by Clement VI in the fourteenth century.
