[1] Salve regina/Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble STX

[C]-C1; T-C4; [Ct]-F3. “Salve” intonation (C). Paraphrased chant (App. 4) supported by textless (instrumental?) T and Ct characterizes a major portion of the antiphon; for “O clemens,” pars 8, and “O pia,” pars 9, chant serves as a cantus firmus in long note values, respectively, in T and Ct. A texted duo (C/Ct), “nobis post hoc exsilium” (6.p.) includes imitative passages (mm. 135-8 and 143-6). Deviating from the nine-verse structure, the antiphon includes verses 1 and 2 in pars 1 and verse 3 and a considerable segment of verse 4 (“ad te…flentes”) in pars 2. Most unusual are the independent partes devoted to “in hoc lacrimarum valle,” the conclusion of verse 4, “nobis post hoc exsilium” and “ostende,” the second half of verse 6. Triple mensuration defines partes 1-3, 6, 8 and 9, duple mensuration, pars 4, 5, 7, and 10. Final d; a (2.p., 6.p., 8.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.
