[1] [Salve] regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C4; T-C4; B-F3. “Salve” intonation (S). Symmetry is achieved for partes 7 and 8 wherein subsequent duos (S/A and T/B) for the respective partes employ identical plainsong in A (7.p.) and in T (8.p.). Chant (App. 4) serves as a cantus firmus in T, primarily as semibreves, except for S (6.p.) and the aforementioned partes (7 and 8.p.); canon at the lower octave between S and T at distance of 1 breve defines the first seventeen measures of pars 9. Chant permeates the imitative texture at the beginning of most partes except pars 6 where the “Et Jesum” motive (S) appears in a homophonic texture; of particular interest is the concluding “salve” of pars 2, an independent section of six measures with breves in all voices. Triple mensuration defines pars 1. Final d, a (7.p., 8.p.).

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.
