[1] Salve regina/vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

D-G2; A-C2; T-C3; B-F3. Entire range, c-g’’. Alternatim setting; except for verse 5, the textual centerpiece, “Eia ergo…” in plainsong, all other verses are polyphonic settings. Chant,[1] usually cast in semibreves, introduces each pars including “vita” motto (mm. 15-18) within an imitative, polyphonic texture. Plainsong permeates the three-voice (D, A, T) imitative texture of “O clemens” (mm. 86—91), as well as the full texture of “O pia” (mm. 91-6), and serves as a cantus firmus (B) for the final verse, “O dulcis Maria” (mm. 96-105). Comparable to the above settings, “Et Jesum” (mm. 65-9) functions as a prelude to “benedictum…ostende.” The composer depicts “in hac lacrimarum valle,” the conclusion of 3.p., with descending stepwise movement, g’’-g’, followed immediately by d’’-d’ (D, mm. 56-64). Final g, b♭ signature.

1. The editor has included chant from the Liber Usualis rather than a 16th-century antiphonary (App. 4).

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.
