Salve regina [121]

Marc’Antonio Ingegneri

Full title / Other titles

SR121 Salve regina 4 vv

Type

Motet

Scores

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. Chant is limited to the “salve” motto (B). Textual phrases are clearly delineated through contrast of texture, cadences followed by silence and expressive usage of harmony. A three-voice (C, A, T) homorhythmic texture preceded and/or followed by silence defines “mater misericordiae,” “ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes” and miserecordes oculos.” Imitation introduces “ad te clamamus,” “fructus ventris tui” and “O dulcis virgo Maria.” Expressive harmonic progressions underscore “et Jesum benedictum” (g, F, B♭, g, F) and the three invocations, “O clemens” (c, E♭, D), “O dulcis…” (B♭, F, G, c, d, B♭, E♭, d, g). A declamatory text setting prevails. Final g, 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.
