[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[D]-G2; [A]-C2; [T]-C3; [B]-F3. High clefs. Entire range, G-g’’. Alternatim setting. A mosaic of chant (App. 4) primarily defines D and B: initial pitches of motto associated with “vita” accompany “vita” and “dulcedo” (D, mm. 1-5) followed by chant concurrent with “et spes nostra” (B, mm. 6-9 and D, mm. 11-15); in 2.p. chant emphasizes “ad te suspiramus” (B & D, mm. 18-23, “gementes et flentes” (D, mm. 25-9) and “in hac lachrimarum” (D, mm. 30-38; embellished chant introduces “Et Jesum” (A & T, mm. 41-4 followed with “fructum ventris (T, 46-8). Brief imitative statements introduce partes 2, 3, & 4; the remainder of the motet favors independent voices within a homorhythmic texture. A full-voice texture predominates except for pars 3 wherein the B is silent for initial 10 measures, but concludes verse 6 with “nobis…ostende.” A syllabic text setting prevails in the four brief versets (17, 23, 16 & 10 mm., respectively). Final g (1st & 2nd partes), d (3rd and 4th partes; b♭ signature.

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.
