[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[D]-C2; [A]-C4; [T]-C4; [B]-F4. Although chant (App. 4) permeates the texture at the beginning of 1.p., 2.p., 4.p. and 6.p., it is usually assigned to the T (1.p., 2.p., 7.p. 8.p., and 9.p.), A (3.p.) or functions as a migrating cantus firmus (4.p., T/D/B; 5.p., D/T/B; and 6.p., B/T) in long-note values or occasionally with paraphrased passages (e.g., 1.p., mm. 12-16). The initial eighteen measures of 5.p. (“Eya ergo”) include canon at the unison at the distance of a breve between A and T. Duple mensuration defines partes 2-6 and 8 & 9 with 1.p. and 7.p. in triple mensuration. Text incipits introduce voices for each pars. Zwickau has text Salve rex misericordie for 1.p. Final d, a (7.p., 8.p.), occasional b♭ in MS, but editorial b-flats are necessary.

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.
