Salve regina-Adieu mes amours

Polyphonic ensemble STBX

[S]-G2; Ct-C3; T I-C4, T II-C4; B-F4. Chant influence is limited to “salve” motto on d’’ (S) with text “salve regina,” its counterpart, “vita dulcedo” and the “Et Jesum” motive that accommodates the text “Et Jesum benedictum” in triplets as a means of emphasizing the text. Divitis assigned Adieu mes amour,[1] the monophonic melody, as cast in Josquin’s T of his four-voice chanson[2] including pitches, rhythm, and rests, to T I of this Salve regina; the cantus firmus, identified by the incipit “Adieu mes amours,” lacks texts of the chanson or Salve regina, was most likely performed by an instrumentalist. The initial four pitches of the borrowed melody (mm. 3-6) are anticipated in T II (mm. 1-3) and repeated with text “vita dulcedo” (mm. 7-10) along with the entire texture. Indeed, the symmetrical structure of the borrowed melody became a means of organizing the polyphonic setting of the antiphon text. Brief imitative passages introduce “gementes” (T II and B) and “eja ergo” (Ct and S). The word “mater” is omitted in verse 1. Final g, b♭ signature; a few e-flats included in MS but editorial e-flats are necessary.

1. The monophonic melody is included in Paris BNF 9346, “Le Manuscript de Bayeux,” No. 83.

Adieu mes amours, a Dieu vous command, / Farewell my loves, to God I bid thee.
Adieu je vous dy jusquez au printemps. / Farewell, I say, until Spring.
Je suis en souci de quoy je vivray. / I worry of what I shall live on,
La raison pour quoy je le vous diray: / The reason why? I will tell you:
Je n’ay plus d’argent, vivray je du vent, / I have no more money. Would that I live on air
Se l’argent du roy ne vient plus souvent. / Should the king’s money not come more often.

Translation by Normand Rioux

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.
