[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C4; T-C4; B-F4. The antiphon exhibits free treatment of Salve regina chant. Initial pitches of chant (App. 4) introduce some textual phrases (e.g., “salve,” verse 1 and “Eia,” verse 5) with rhythmic gestures comparable to other voices; inverted ”vita” motive (a, b♭, a instead of a, g, a), previously associated with “regina” in A (m. 3) also appears with “Et Jesum” (verse 6, mm. 81-4) as well as “virgo mater” (verse 9, mm. 125-9). Chant serves as a cantus firmus in T of verses 7, “O clemens” (mm. 99-1-6) and 8, “O pia” in S (mm. 106-11). Principal structural devices involve imitation (I) and paired imitation (PI).

Minum rests surrounding “post,” “hoc” and “exsilium” though not simultaneously in all voices of verse 6, mm. 91-5 distinguishes this textual passage. Declamatory text setting prevails. Final d; several b-flats included in MS, but editorial b-flats are necessary.

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.
