[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[C]-G2; [A]-C2; [T]-C3; [B]-F3. High clefs. Entire range, B♭-g’’. Alternatim setting. Chant (App. 4) introduces partes 1, 2, & 4 with initial pitches of the respective verses: 1.p., C, mm.1-2; 2.p., C & B, mm. 12-5; and 4.p., C & T, mm. 50-2. The 1.p. and 4.p., each consist of 11 mm, whereas, 2.p. (20 mm.) and 3.p., 18 mm. to suggest structural symmetry. A polyphonic texture of individual voices characterizes the antiphon. A stepwise descent (C, f’’-g’, mm. 23-6) enhances the text “in hac lachrimarum valle.” Final g, b♭ signature; 4.p., 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.
