Partitions

[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble

S I-G2; S II-G2; A-C2; T-C3; B-C4. High clefs. Entire range, B♭-g’’. Like most alternatim settings by Spanish composers the concluding text of verse 6, “nobis…ostende,” remains in plainsong. A Spanish version[1] of the chant, usually in breves and semibreves, permeates the imitative texture at the beginning of selected textual phrases (“vita,” “et Jesum” and “benedictum”). Scored for S I, S II, A and T, the 2.p. not only contrasts with plainsong on either side but also the polyphonic versets (S, A, T, B). Esquivel adds a fifth voice, S II, an equal to S I in a pars free of chant but noteworthy for use of harmonic color to express text, “O dulcis virgo Maria.” New material constitutes a significant feature of the antiphon. Final g, b♭ signature.

1. Since Esquivel makes limited use of chant in Salve regina, it is not possible to cite a specific Spanish or Roman source; it appears that a local or regional variant of the Spanish version may have been employed.
[2] Ad te suspiramus

Polyphonic ensemble

[3] Et Jesum

Polyphonic ensemble

[4] O dulcis virgo Maria

Polyphonic ensemble SSATB

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.
