[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATBX

D-G2; Q-C1; A-C2; T-C3; B-C4. High clefs. Chant (App. 4) emphasizes specific words: embellished “salve” motto, (D, mm. 1-3);
“salve,” (T, mm. 4-6); “vita,” (B, T, mm. 8-10); “Et Jesum,” (B, mm. 62-4); “nobis,” (B, mm. 72-4 & A-mm. 73-5). The “salve” motto also underscores the “salve” that conludes v. 2 (T, mm. 15-7). Chant, in semibreves, serves as a cantus firmus with the acclamations “O clemens” and “O pia” (mm. 83-94). A contrapuntal texture with brief, imitative passages (e.g., “ad te,” A/B, mm. 18-20; “illos,” Q/A, mm. 31-2), markedly independent voices, and overlapping phrases prevails. A full-voice texture defines 1.p. Note: T & B are silent for the first 19 mm. of 2.p. (mm. 43-62) and B is absent for the initial 6 mm of 3.p. (mm. 82-7). Final g, b♭ signature.

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.
