[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble STX

[C]-C1; T-C4; Ct-F3. “Salve” intonation (C). Alternatim setting, but with odd-numbered verses in polyphony. Chant (App. 4) assigned to T, displays rhythmic character comparable to outer voices within a homophonic texture. Three textual segments are differentiated through simultaneous corona-capped breves in all voices: “illos tuos” (mm. 44-52) and “virgo Maria,” mm. 78-86, both measured; and “O clemens,” verse 7, unmeasured. Double-leading tone cadences define mm. 21-2 (“exsules”) and 75-6 (”dulcis”). Contrasting triple mensuration distinguishes 1.p. and “misericordes…converte” (mm. 53-66), the conclusion of pars 3. The word “mater” is omitted in verse 1. Final d; to complement verse 7 (4.p.), “O clemens,” has final a.

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.
