[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble STXX

[C]-C1; Ct I-C4; T-F3; Ct II-F3. Plainsong is presented as paraphrased chant (App. 4) accompanying verse 1, “Salve…misericordiae,” (C, mm. 1-13), migrating chant in 2.p. that proceeds from Ct I (mm. 72-4) to C (mm. 74-9), back to Ct I (mm. 74-86) returning to C (88-92), and cantus firmus treatment in 6.p., “O dulcis,” (C, mm. 159-74). The “Et Jesum” motive resides in the lowest voice (T) supporting pitches capped with coronas. Imitation is limited to introductory statements of a motive that coincides with “vita,” (mm. 13-7) within a texture of equal voices. Partes 1, 4 and 6 in triple mensuration contrast with adjacent partes 2, 3 and 5 in duple mensuration. The words “mater” in verse 1 and “virgo” in verse 9 are omitted. A melismatic text setting prevails. Final d (1.p., 2.p., 3.p., 6.p.), a (4.p.), C (5.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.
