[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[D]-G2; [A]-C2; [T]-C4; [B]-F3. High clefs, G-g’’. Paraphrased chant (App. 4) introduces 4.p. (A, T, D, B) within an imitative fabric. To emphasize verse 5, “eia ergo…,” the textual centerpiece of the antiphon, a highly imitative three-voice texture (labeled “Trio”) contrasts with the surrounding homorhythmic partes. Text repetition is most evident in partes 2 & 3; in 3.p. the text “nobis…ostende” is stated four times (mm. 63-78) with imitation and varying voice combinations in overlapping phrases (e.g., D, A, T, mm. 65-8; T, B, mm. 69-71; D, A, T, B, mm. 72-3; D, A, mm. 73-4; D, A, T, B, mm. 74-8). Except for melismas associated with “ventris tui” and “ostende” a syllabic text setting prevails. Final g, b♭ signature; e-flats are included in C 95.

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.
