[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble STBX

[D]-C1; Ct-C4; T-C4; B-F4. Alternatim setting. Within an imitative, contrapuntal fabric, paraphrased chant (App. 4) accompanies textual phrases; initial pitches of chant introduce selected words or textual phrases (e.g., “in hac lacrimarum,” mm. 48-53, Ct, T, D). “Et Jesum” motive, usually presented within a homophonic texture, consists of an eleven-measure prelude replete with imitative entries; paired imitation (Ct/D and B/T) introduce “benedictum.” A dense texture comprised of rapid rhythmic gestures (semiminums) closes each pars; a sequential passage of rising stepwise movement involving the entire texture closes pars 1. Text underlay is of limited concern. Final d (1.p., 2.p., 3.p.), a (4.p.).

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.
