Polyphonic ensemble SSATB

[C I]-G2; [C II]-G2; [A]-C1; T-C3; B-F3. High clefs. Entire range, B♭-a’’. Alternatim setting. Two equal C voices. Chant (App. 4) introduces each pars but also serves as cantus firmus (longae and breves) in B (mm. 81-6). T tacet in 2.p. In pars 2, a motive associated with “gementes et flentes” appears three times in succession in B, but also in C I and T (mm. 51-61); a disjunct motive attached to “in hac lachrimarum” undergoes extensive imitative treatment in mm. 62-70. An ostinato complements “post hoc exilium ostende in B (mm. 108-26). See comments for SR303.

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.
