[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[C]-C1; [A]-C3; [T]-C4; [B]-F4. Alternatim setting. Paired imitation introduces partes 2 and 3 (C/A and T/B) wherein paraphrased chant (App. 4) appears in the upper voices of the former and the “Et Jesum” motive in long note values is assigned to the lower voices in the latter; that both partes are in triple mensuration elevates the symmetrical design of the setting. Chant in long-note values serves as cantus firmus (C) in pars 4 where it is supported by an imitative texture (B, A, T); an eleven-measure pedal on a’ (C) hovers above a contrapuntal web that explores a degree of dissonance. Text underlay is of minimal concern. Final d (1.p., 2.p., 3.p.), a (4.p.).
[2] Ad te suspiramus

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[3] Et Jesum

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[4] O pia

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.
