[1] Salve regina/vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[D]-C1; A-C4; T-C4; [B]-F4. Chant (App. 4) introduces each pars as well as other textual phrases within an imitative texture; chant serves as a cantus firmus (T) in 4.p., “Eia ergo.” To complement the identical plainsong for verses 1 and 2 the same music is used for each verse (mm. 1-27).[1] Triple mensuration defines “in hac lacrimarum valle,” the concluding text of verse 4, partes 6 (“O clemens”) and 7 (“O pia”). Except for textual incipits (A, T, and B lack incipits for pars 6-8), the remainder of the text is lacking. Final d; a (6.p., 7.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.
