Scores

[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble

C-CI; C-CII; A-C2; T-C4; B-F4. “Salve” intonation in C. Alternatim setting. Typical of Spanish composers, Navarro assigns the concluding phrase “nobis post hoc exsilium ostende” of verse 6 to plainchant and groups verses 7-9 in one pars. Pars 1 and 3 are scored for C, A, T, B, 2.p. for C I, C II, A, T with a full complement of voices for 4.p. At the beginning of textual phrases, chant,[1] in semibreves, permeates the imitative, contrapuntal texture. The word “et” is omitted in “et spes nostra” of verse 2. Declamatory text setting prevails. Final d, a few b-flats included in original sources with additional editorial b-flats required.

1. Navarro most likely includes a local or regional version of Spanish chant.
[2] Ad te suspiramus

Polyphonic ensemble

[3] Et Jesum

Polyphonic ensemble

[4] O clemens

Polyphonic ensemble

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.
