[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-C4; A-C4; T-F3; B-F4. Voce pari. Entire range, F-e♭’. Chant is limited to “salve/vita” motto and the motive associated with “nobis” (mm. 64-7) all of which permeate the imitative texture. Textual phrases are delineated through contrast of texture, cadential treatment and expressive harmonic content. Initial measures of verses 1 and 2 (1-5=11-4) share similar materials within an imitative texture. On the other hand, a homorhythmic texture defines verses 3 and 4, each surrounded by silence. In the same manner verses 5, 6 and the three acclamations (verses 7-9) are, respectfully, surrounded by silence. Harmonic progressions (g, D, E♭, c, B♭, g) express “et Jesum” in verse 6. Declamatory style defines text setting. Final g, b♭ signature; inclusion of e-flats in source, but editorial e-flats are 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.
