[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C2; A-C4; T-C4; B-F4. Slightly paraphrased chant (App. 4) is assigned to S with brief migrations to A (mm. 12-21 and 59-64) and T (mm. 64-9). Lengthy duos are characteristic of the antiphon: “Salve regina misericordia” (S/A, mm. 1-9); “advocata nostra” (S/A, mm. 47-51); “oculos ad nos converte” (S/A, mm. 61-9); “O clemens” (S/A, mm. 98-103); and “illos tuos misericordes” in A, “eya ergo advocata nostras” in B (A/B, mm. 51-60. Within full-voiced sections a S/T axis serves as the structure for a layered texture. The T, frequently cast in long note values, may be a borrowed melody of unknown origin. A series of 1st-inversion chords accompany “O pia” (mm. 104-8). The 1.p. in triple mensuration contrasts with duple mensuration of 2.p. The word” mater is omitted from verse one but “semper is added in verse nine: “virgo semper Maria. Amen.” Final d.

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.
