[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATTB

[C]-G2; [A]-C2; [T I]-C3; [T II]-C3; [B]-C4. High clefs. Entire range, c-g’’. Tenor voices share same range, g-a’. “Salve” intonation (B). Chant (App. 4) serves as a cantus firmus in continuous semibreves (B) but also permeates the imitative texture concurrent with specific words (e.g., “regina,” mm. 1-4; “dulcedo,” mm. 17-24; “filii,” mm. 36-9; “illos,” mm. 67-73; and “fructum,” mm. 97-100). A full voice, polyphonic texture prevails. Rhythmic gestures primarily include minums, semiminums and fusae. A combination of syllabic and melismatic styles defines the text setting. At the completion of verse 9 (a triad on A, m. 133), there follows a four-measure coda constructed over a pedal point (d) with text “Maria.”
Final d, several b-flats are included in MS.

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.
