Scores

Polyphonic ensemble SAATBX

D-G2; Sx-G2; A-C2; A-C3; T-C3; B-F3. High clefs. Entire range, G-g’’. Two equal treble (D, Sx) voices. No evidence of chant. Textual phrases or sections of phrases are differentiated through contrasting voice groups and antiphonal effects within a homophonic/homorhythmic texture (e.g., “O clemens, O pia,” in triple mensuration, mm. 51-9) as well as segments comprised of independent voices (e.g. “illos…ostende,” mm. 33-50). Antiphonal effects introduce the motet. “Salve regina,” first stated by upper 3 voices (D, Sx, A, mm. 1-2), is followed by A, T, B a fifth lower (mm. 3-4) and culminates with full-voice texture (mm. 5-9). A duo (D, Sx) introduces the 5th textual phrase, “Eya…nostra” (mm. 28-33); a trio (D, Sx, A) concludes the verse, “illos…converte” (mm. 33-9). More than a third of the antiphon is full-voiced: “salve…miserecordiae,” mm. 5-9; “et Jesum…ostende” mm. 40-50; and “O clemens…Maria,” mm. 57-67. Declamatory text setting in syllabic style prevails. Final g; b♭ signature, e-flats in R 1084, or editorially required.

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.
