Scores

Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble

Use of CATB choirs alternating for all except the final verse that is set as an 8 vv tutti. O’Regan in Sacred Polychoral Music notes the variety of vocal groupings used in the setting.

Description

A 1238 No. 7 is cited in MGG2, v. 1, p. 734.

In his dissertation, O’Regan cites three Salve reginas by G. Animuccia in A 1238 (O’Regan, 1988); however, the index of “Il secondo libro delle laudi,…(Rome: V. & A. Dorico, 1552) (A 1238) in the website Printed-sacred-music.org includes but two Marian antiphons: Alma redemptoris mater (AR010) and Salve regina (SR017).

Salve, regina, mater misericordiae;

Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra, salve.

Ad te clamamus exsules filii Hevae.

Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia ergo, advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.

Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.

O clemens,

O pia,

O dulcis virgo Maria.
