C-C1; Sx-C1; A-C3; Q-C4; T-C4; B-F4. A paraphrased “salve” motto similar to mottos in SR249 and SR252 appears in a series of imitative statements (mm. 1-9) punctuated by the “salve” motto in C (mm. 8-10) and B (mm. 9-10). The paraphrased “vita” (“salve”) motto appears prominently (T, mm. 18-23), as does the motto (Sx, mm. 19-21 and C, mm. 21-24). Indeed, chant (App. 4) performs a significant role throughout the antiphon introducing most textual phrases; the contrasting 2.p. for three upper voices (C, Sx, A) is satiated with chant. A variety of voice groupings contrasts with the full-voice sections that account for about two-fifths of pars 1 and 3. Brief antiphonal segments articulate the close of verse 1 (“misericordiae,” mm. 15-8) and verse 6 (“post hoc exilium,” mm. 134-8). Declamatory text setting prevails. Final d.

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.
