[1] Vita, dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATBX

C-C1; A-C3; Q-C4; T-C4; B-F4. Alternatim setting. An examination of Vaet’s four-voice Salve regina (SR249) and this setting suggests that the former was most likely the model.[1] Paraphrased chant (App. 4) associated with “vita” is a variant of the “vita” melody in SR249. The added voice, Quintus, complements the T to create a more dense texture than that of the model. The composer has deleted C in 2.p. of both settings. Except for pars 2 the other partes are the same or of similar length (see below). Final d (1.p., 2.p., 3.p.); a (4.p.).

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.
