[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C3; T-C3; B-F3. Chant is limited to a paraphrased “salve” motto that permeates the imitative texture (T, S, B, S, mm. 1-10) and a statement of “Eia ergo” (3.p., T). Comprising four partes this Salve regina at first glance suggests an alternatim setting; except for pars 3 that contains verse 5, the others partes include multiple verses: 1.p., verses 1 and 2; 2.p., verses 3 and 4; 4.p., verses 6, 7, 8, and 9. Textual phrases and words are differentiated through contrasting texture, rhythmic gestures, and silence before and after verses 7 and 8. An imitative, contrapuntal texture defines pars 1, whereas the other three partes primarily display homophony. The word “mater” is omitted in verse 1, but added in verse 9 (“O dulcis virgo mater Maria”). Final g, b♭ signature (S and T), b♭ and e♭ signature (A and B).

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.
