Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATBX

C-G2; A-C2; T-C3; B-F3; Bc-F4. Entire range, B♭-g’’. Essentially a basso seguente, the Bc is a fifth lower than the B, indicative of chiavette, characterized by high clefs used in this setting.[1] No evidence of chant. Aichinger’s imitation (parody) motet borrows melodic, rhythmic, harmonic, mensural and structural features from Giovanni Gabrieli’s popular madrigal, Lieto godea.[2] To complement antiphonal treatment of the model scored for eight voices, comparable features are employed with alternation between C/A and T/B (mm. 1-7). Like the madrigal, this Salve regina repeats extensive structural segments. Musical material (mm. 34-50) associated with verses 6, 7, 8 and 9 is restated in entirety. A variation of the initial statement (mm. 1-6) occurs with text “ad te clamamus exules filii Evae” (mm. 7-13). The conclusion of verse 5, “misericordes…converte” (mm. 27-33) in triple mensuration contrasts with duple mensuration of surrounding material. Syllabic style dominates the declamatory text setting. Final a, principal cadences on a and d; Bc, Final d, b♭signature.

1. O. Vecchi’s Alma redemptoris mater notated with high clefs has a basso seguente transposed a fourth lower than the B (AR100).

2. CMM 12, Vol. 6, pp. 124-30.
Lieto godea sedendo / I sat happily enjoying
l’aura che tremolando dolce spira l’aprile; / the breeze that sweetly trembling April breathes;
Ogn’ hor sospira d’Amor ogn’ animale. / every hour every animal sighs with love.
Con mortal dardo / With his mortal dart
Amor volando venn’ e’l cor mi punse; / Love came flying and pierced my heart;
e las’ oimè, fugge meschino me: / and, alas, he escapes to my sorrow:
onde n’havrò la morte / and I shall die of it
s’in lieta non si cangia la mia sorte. / unless fate grants my happiness.

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.
