[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. Chant (App. 4) is associated with specific
words (e.g., “salve,” “vita,” “Et Jesum,” “nobis,” “O clemens” and “O pia”) where the plainsong often pervades the imitative texture (“vita,” mm. 17-23) but also in paired imitation (“salve,” A/B, S/T, mm. 1-6 and “Et Jesum,” T/B, S/A). Chant, predominantly in semibreves, also serves as a cantus firmus in partes 3 and 4. Verses 4 and 5 are combined in pars 4, and to complement chant accordant with verses 7 and 8, partes 6 and 7 have identical music. The word “mater” in verse 1 is omitted. A combination of syllabic and melismatic styles defines the text setting. Final d, a (partes 6 and 7).

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.
