Scores

Polyphonic ensemble STTB

[S I]-C1, [S II]-C1, [A]-C3; [T I]-C4; [T II]-C4; [B]-F4. Chant is limited to paraphrase of initial “salve” (S I and A) and quotation of “nobis” motive (T I, S I, B, mm. 55-66) of verse 6. Textual verses and phrases are delineated through contrast of character that involves melodic and rhythmic materials, voice groupings, texture, mensuration and presence of expressive harmonic language. Therefore, the full-voice homorhythmic section in triple mensuration[1] that underscores “miserecordes oculos ad nos converte” is striking. Similar melodic and rhythmic gestures introduce verses 1, 4 (mm. 24-6) and 5 (mm. 38-40) to provide a degree of unity. Declamatory text primarily in syllabic style defines setting. Final a; several g-sharps at cadential points must be added

1. Notation in coloration designates triple mensuration; however, the black notes may also graphically (“eye music”) convey the serious content of the accompanying text.

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.
