Scores

[1] Alma redemptoris mater

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-G2; A-C3; T-C3; B-F3. High clefs. Entire range, A-f’’. S tacet for 2.p. The T is the principal carrier of paraphrased chant (App. 1) with anticipation of chant melody in other voices for several textual phrases. Entire texture associated with textual phrases (“Gabrielis ore” and “peccatorum miserere”) or specific words (e.g., “surgere”) is restated. Note structural similarities and borrowing at beginning of 3.p. with AR048. Final F, b♭ signature.

[2] Tu quae genuisti

Polyphonic ensemble


[3] Virgo prius

Alma redemptoris mater, quae pervia caeli porta manes
Et stella maris, succurre cadenti surgere qui curat populo:
Tu quae genuisti, natura mirante, tuum sanctum genitorem:
Virgo prius ac posterius, Gabrielis ab ore sumens illud, Ave, peccatorum miserere.
