[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[D]-C1; [A]-C3; [T]-C3; [B]-F4. No evidence of chant. Brief imitative passages introduce verses and partial verses of pars 1 & 2; the remainder of the respective verses reflects homorhythmic style (e.g., “miserecordiae,” mm. 3-7 and “illos…oculos,” mm. 31-8) or texture of independent voices. An imitative texture defines 3.p. Repetition of specific words or textual phrases may entail similar melodic or rhythmic material: 2 statements of “illos…oculos” (mm. 31-8); and 3 statements of “misericordiae” (mm. 3-7), “vita dulcedo” (mm. 8-11) & “fructum ventris tui” (mm. 46-55). A full-voice texture with overlapping phrases prevails. Syllabic text setting with short melismas in partes 3 & 4 defines the antiphon. Final F, 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.
