[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble ATB

[A]-C4; [T]-C4 & C3; [B]-F-3. Entire range, c-a’. “Salve” intonation (B). Chant (App. 4) serves as cantus firmus (B) in continuous semibreves in partes 1-4 and 6-10; verse 5, the centerpiece of the antiphon, includes chant (B) measured within triple mensuration. Formal structure, predicated upon plainsong, also emphasizes verse 5 as the lengthiest pars (29 mm.); other partes range from 7 mm. (“O clemens” and “O pia”) to 20 mm. (“Ad te suspiramus”). The texture primarily consists of two independent upper voices supported by plainsong; however, consistent sembreves in both chant and upper voice in verse 4 present a stable framework for the middle voice to weave itself around the upper voice. A combination of syllabic and melismaic text setting mirror the plainsong. 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.
