[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[C]-G2; [A]-C3; [T]-C3; [B]-F3. High clefs. Entire range, B♭-f’’. Alternatim setting; final three acclamations (verses 7-9) are combined in one verset. “Salve/vita” motto serves as a cantus firmus (mm. 1-4); chant (App. 4) functions in a similar manner with “Ad te” (T, mm. 14-8), and “in hac” (C, mm. 35-88). Plainsong emphasizes two brief passages in 3.p.: “Et Jesum” (B, mm. 49-53), and “nobis post” (B, mm. 77-84). A polyphonic texture with independent voices prevails; two succinct imitative passages stand out (“hac,” B/T, mm. 35-6 and “fructum,” A/T/B mm. 61-4). Partes 2 and 3 in duple mensuration contrast with partes 1 and 4 in triple mensuration. A melismatic text setting characterizes the antiphon. Final d, b♭ signature.
[2] Ad te clamamus

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.
