[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F3. Paraphrased initial pitches of Salve regina (App. 4) verses (e.g., “Salve/vita,” “Ad te,” “Eia ergo” and “O dulcis) introduce the respective partes within an imitative texture; though the phrase “Et Jesum” is stated homophonically in breves, the chant motive is absent. Four partes (1, 2, 3 and 9) conclude with four measures of identical pitch content but with slight rhythmic variant for pars 3. To complement chant, identical material, respectively, accompanies text of verses 1 and 2[1] and verses 7 and 8. The words “mater” in verse 1 and “virgo” in verse 9 are omitted. A combination of syllabic and melismatic styles define the text setting. Final g, verses 7 and 8 have final d; 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.
