[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble STTBX

[D]-G2; Ct-C3; TI-C4; T II-F3; [B]-F4. Alternatim setting. Paraphrased chant (App. 4) introduces the 1.p. where it permeates the imitative, contrapuntal texture; on the other hand, chant as a cantus firmus in long note values defines the second and fourth partes. Whereas the chant melody tends to be more prominent in one voice (S in 1.p.; T I, 2.p.; S, 3.p.; and S, 4.p.), it is unequivocally present in other voices. Although the “Et Jesum” motive is quoted in TI and B (mm. 86-9), the S carries a melody (b♭, c, b♭, c, d, c, b♭) in breves and semibreves that is similar to initial pitches of verse 5, “Eya ergo.” (See same quotation in SR235). That the outer partes are in triple mensuration provides a measure of symmetry to the setting. Melismatic text setting characterizes the antiphon. Final g (1.p., 2.p., 3.p.) d (4.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.
