[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble STB

[S]-C2; T-C3; B-C4. Entire range, c-b♭’. Chant (App. 4) introduces each pars and emphasizes specific textual phrases (e.g., “nobis post hoc,” T in 3.p.), cast as longae, breves and semibreves: “salve” motto (T); “eya ergo” (S & B); et Jesum (T); “O clemens” (S) and “O pia” (B). To correspond with the three acclamations (verses 7-9), pars 4 consists of three independent sections. An imitiative contrapuntal texture with rhythmically active voices characterizes the antiphon. Except for T& B of 1.p. that carry textual incipits, voices are texted; text setting includes both syllabic style as well as lengthy melismas. 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.
