[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C4; T-C4; B-F4. To differentiate the complementary verses 3 and 4 in pars 3 the segment “Ad te…flentes” of verse 4 contrasts in triple mensuration with the surrounding material in duple mensuration. Chant (App. 4) serves as a cantus firmus in long-note values, as migrating c.f. and as paraphrased plainsong. Paired imitation (S/A and T/B) with the “vita/salve” motto in S and T in longae supported by rhythmically active A and B introduces pars 2; thereafter, the c.f. continues in T but migrates to B for text “et spes nostra salve.” Plainsong also serves as c.f. in T of partes 6 and 7. Paraphrased plainsong appears in pars 3 (verse 3, S; verse 4, T), 4 (S) and 8 (T); paraphrased chant permeates the imitative texture of pars 5. Triple mensuration defines partes 1 and 7. Final d, a (6.p. and 7.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.
