[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble STX

C-C1; T-C3; Ct-C3. Chant is limited to the “salve” motto that appears in breves pitched on d’’. Within a predominantly homorhythmic texture brief imitative passages appear with “vita dulcedo” (mm. 12-19) and “fructum” (mm. 86-90). Verse 5, the centerpiece and longest pars (25 mm.) of the antiphon comprises three textual phrases (“eja…nostra,” “illos…oculos” and “ad nos converte”) of which the first two are in triple mensuration. The two concise partes (three mm. each), O clemens” and “O pia,” entail breves capped with coronas. A syllabic style with short melismas prevails. A degree of ambiguity exists regarding final. Final d (1.p., 3.p., 7.p.), g (8.p.), B♭ (2.p., 4.p., 5.p.), a (6.p., 9.p., 10.p.), 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.
