[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[D]-G2; [A]-C3; [T]-C4; [B]-F4. No evidence of chant. Textual phrases and partes are differentiated through contrast of texture, rhythmic gestures and 2-3 voices juxtaposed with full texture. Homophonic and homorhythmic styles define verses 1-4 (Salve…valle,” mm. 1-20), verse 6-8 (“Et Jesum…pia,” mm. 37-63); on the other hand, verses 5 (“Eia…converte,” mm. 20-36) and 9 (“O dulcis…,” mm. 64-72) include imitative entries within a polyphonic texture. Breves emphasize “Et Jesum” (mm. 37-9) and verses 7 & 8 (mm. 58-63). Reduction of voices accompanies “vita…salve,” (D, A, T), “eia..nostra” (D, A, T) and two subsequent text repetitions (A, T, B & D, A, T); of note are the three statements of “nobis…exilium” first for 2 voices (A & B), then 3 voices (D, A, T) followed by a full-voice texture (mm. 47-54). Except for a few brief melismas, a syllabic style primarily complements minums and semiminums. Final F, b♭ signature.[1]

1. SR351 & SR357 share “identical” and varied segments. “Identical” segments: verses 1-4, mm. 1-21; v. 6, “nobis…ostende,” mm. 47-57; verses 7 & 8; v. 9, mm. 64-7. Variant segments: v. 5, mm. 21-36; v. 6, mm. 37-47; v. 9, mm. 68-72. SR 364 comprises 72 mm. and SR370, 75 mm. with partes or subsections of equal or similar size.

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.
