[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble STXX

[C]-G2; Ct I-C3; T-C4; Ct II-C4. No evidence of chant. Textual phrases are distinguished through contrast of mensuration and voice groups, and the inclusion of a borrowed secular melody. Hilf und gib rat,[1] a German Lied serves as a cantus firmus (T) primarily cast in breves and semibreves and surrounded by independent voices in four-voice sections (“vita dulcedo,” mm. 21-33; verse 3, mm. 41-57; “in hac…valle,” mm. 70-9; and 3.p.). Duos constitute two-fifths of the motet: C/Ct I, verse 1, mm. 1-21; Ct I/Ct II, “et spes nostra,” mm. 33-41; C/Ct II, “gementes et flentes,” mm. 63-9; and 2.p. Triple mensuration characterizes 1.p. and duple the remaining two partes. The word “mater” in verse 1 is omitted. Text is relegated to C throughout antiphon; text incipits introduce other voices. The text of the hymn Gaude rosa speciosa has been underlayed in the C of this motet at a later date. Final g; b♭ signature in Ct I, T, and Ct II of 2.p., editorial b♭ required in pars 1 and C of pars 2.

1. Initial pitches of the Lied appear in measures 9 and 10 (T) of the Quodlibet,
In feuers hitz, in the Glogauer Liederbuch, No. 66 in EDM 4.

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.
