[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

[Tp]-C1; [A]-C3; [T]-C4; [B]-F4. Alternatim setting. A variant[1] of the Spanish version of Salve regina serves as a reservoir of motives and cantus firmus treatment. Anticipatory statements (Tp, A, B) of “vita” (“salve” motto) introduce cantus firmus (T) primarily in semibreves (mm. 8-14). Chant accompanying “spes nostra” as minums pervades the contrapuntal texture for the remainder of 1.p. (mm. 14-35). Motives with initial pitches derived from chant are associated with “ad te” “suspiramus,” “gementes” and “et fluentes” of 2.p.; for the concluding text, “in hac lacrimarum vale,” (mm. 64-79) a cantus firmus in breves and semibreves (B) supports motivic material whose initial interval of a fourth duplicates the chant concurrent with “in hac.” In 4.p. Franco employs chant as cantus firmus with “O dulcis” (Tp, mm. 122-9) and “virgo semper Maria” (A, mm. 142-61) coupled with freely composed motives that permeate the imitative fabric. A declamatory text setting prevails. Final d.

1. Franco most likely used the Psalterium, An[t]iphonarium Sanctorale (Mexico City: Pedro Ochate, 1584) or a closely related source; however, chant associated with “virgo semper Maria” reflects a Spanish chant version in Passionarium Toletanum (Alcalà de Henares: Arnoldo Guillén de Brocar, 1515). On the other hand, chant concurrent with textual phrases “gementes et flentes” and “O dulcis” may reflect a local practice. For transcription of Salve regina chant, see MRM 9, pp. 70-2.

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.
