Scores

[1] Vita, dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-G2; A-C2; T-C3; B-C4. High clefs. Entire range, c-f’’. Paraphrased chant (App. 4) (C and T) cast in paired imitation (C/A and T/B) introduces 1.p. The 2.p. opens in a similar manner (C/A and T/B) but with the initial chant pitches (C and T) appropriate to verse 4; thereafter, chant initiates most textual phrases (e.g., “in hac lacrimarum,” mm. 31-5; “benedictum,” 46-50; “nobis,” mm. 54-61; and “O pia,” 4.p.) Vaet appropriates chant melody associated with verse 5, “Eia ergo” for 3.p. rather than including the “Et Jesum” motive. Declamatory text setting prevails. Final g (1.p., 2.p., 3.p.), d (4.p.); b♭ signature.
[2] Ad te suspiramus

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.
