[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble STX

[C]-C1; Ct-C4; T-C4. Paraphrased chant (App. 4) resides in C of partes 1 and 3; whereas plainsong begins in C of 2.p., it migrates to T at “illos tuos” (mm. 200-5), to Ct with “miserecordes” (mm. 105-11), back to T for “oculos” (mm. 111-18) but returns to C at “ad nos converte” (m. 118) where it remains for duration of 2.p. Similarly, in pars 4, “O pia,” chant begins in T but migrates to C (mm. 176) to conclude 4.p. Imitation is limited to anticipatory statements of chant (e.g.,”misercordiae,” mm. 15-7; “ad te suspiramus,” mm. 63-5; and “Eia ergo,” mm. 89-90. Within a texture of equal, independent voices, contrasting trio and duo segments abound. Partes 1, 3, 4, and 5 in triple mensuration surround 4.p. (verses 5 and 6) in duple mensuration. Underthird and double leading tone cadences characterize the antiphon. The word “mater” is omitted in verse 1. Final d (1.p., 2.p., 5.p.), a (3.p., 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.
