[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[S]-C2; [A]-C4; [T]-C4; [B]-F4. Anticipatory statements introduce chant (App. 4) as a paraphrased cantus firmus at beginning of each pars as well as textual phrases “exules…Hevae” and “ad te suspiramus.” A migrating cantus firmus defines the borrowed melody in 1.p.: T, mm. 3-9; S, mm. 9-72. The T carries the cantus firmus in 2.p. to “Et Jesum” (m. 101) where it appears in B within a homorhythmic texture; thereafter, pervading imitation replete with chant prevails. A three-voice texture (S, A, T) for “misericordes oculos” (mm. 87-96) and subsequent two-voice (T, B) section (“ad nos converte,” mm. 96-101) contrast with surrounding material. An ostinato (B♭, A, B♭, A, G) in semibreves (mm. 21-30) accompanies “et spes nostra, salve.” The word “semper” is inserted in verse 9. 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.
