[1] Salve regina/vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble STX

[C]-C1; T-C4; [Ct]-F4. Chant (App. 4), in continuous semibreves or breves (6.p.) for each pars, serves as cantus firmus (T) in 4.p., “Eja ergo,” the centerpiece of Salve regina and in C for surrounding partes. To complement the plainsong, identical polyphonic music is shared, respectively, by verses 1 and 2[1] (1.p.) and 7 and 8 (6.p.). Except for the initial imitative entry, the two accompanying voices are independent and replete with a variety of rhythmic gestures. The words “mater” of verse 1 and “virgo” of verse 9 are omitted. Text is supplied for the cantus firmus that primarily observes plainsong text underlay as well as for C and T of partes 5 and 6; text incipits introduce other voices. Final d, all partes except 5.p. that has final a.

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.
