[1] Salve regina/Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble STX

C-C2 & C3; T-C4; Ct-C4. Entire range, c-c’’. No evidence of chant. Two equal lower voices (instrumental?) support a texted C within a continuous polyphonic texture in each pars; text incipits included for all partes in T and first two partes of Ct. To complement the plainsong, identical music is scored for verses 1 and 2.[1] A corona appears over each breve concurrent with syllables of “Salve regina/vita dulcedo” (1.p.), “Et Jesum benedictum” (4.p.) and “O clemens, O pia” (5.p.) to create contrasting homophonic introductions to the respective partes. Under-third melodic cadences prevail. Final d.

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.
