[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[C]-C1; [A]-C4; [T]-C4; [B]-F4. “Salve” intonation (C). Considerable voice crossing characterizes the lower three voices; within mm. 113-8 the T serves as the lowest voice. Paraphrased chant prevails predominantly in C with occasional imitative passages involving C/T (“misericordie” mm. 11-5; “ad te suspiramus” mm. 47-52; “illos tuos” mm. 85-90; and “exilium” mm. 133-5). Two textual segments (“filii Evae,” mm. 40-6, and “O dulcis virgo Maria,” mm. 157-79) lack evidence of chant. Pars 1 comprises verses 1-3, pars 2, verses 4 & 5, and pars 3, verses 6-9. A polyphonic texture of independent voices prevails. Text underlay is of minimal concern. Final d; editorial b-flats 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.
