[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

D-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. Chant (App. 4) motives, usually in semibreves within an imitative, contrapuntal texture, introduce textual phrases of Salve regina verses, except verse 9, “O dulcis Maria,” that exhibits a homorhythmic texture with but a hint of chant in D. A declamatory style defines the text setting in brief versets ranging in length from 7 measures (“O clemens”) to 24 measures (“Eia ergo”). Final d; to complement chant, pars 7 and 8 have final a.

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.
