Salve regina (Diversi diversa orant)

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

S-C1; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. “Diversi diversa orant” (Diverse singers sing diverse prayers). Each of the four voices has a different Marian text and the accompanying melody: actually, seven texts and their respective chant melodies. Only the S includes the Salve regina (App. 4) at pitch but slightly paraphrased. The A contains the text of the antiphon, Ave regina caelorum[1] but concludes with Beata Mater, (m. 73) the antiphon of the Magnificat for Blessed Virgin Mary The Queen.[2] The T includes Inviolata, integra, et casta[3] followed by the antiphon Hortus conclusus (m. 92) at Second Vespers of the feast of Assumption.[4] The B begins with the antiphon Alma redemptoris mater,[5] and concludes with Ave Maria (m. 83) the antiphon at First Vespers of the Annunciation of the BVM, Mar. 25.[6] Whereas the Salve regina chant in the S is primarily intact the other chants include ornamentation and transposition at intervals of the fourth or fifth within their presentations. Additionally, the three lower voices conclude with the final textual phrase of the Salve regina: “O dulcis virgo Maria.” The seven items belong to various feasts of the Virgin but also numerically symbolize the BVM. Final d.

1. Except for the inclusion of “semper” in the final phrase, the Tridentine text is used. LU 278. [App. 2]

2. Beata Mater et innupta Virgo, gloriosa Regina mundi, intercede pro nobis ad Dominum Deum nostrum. LU 1476H
Blessed Mother and spotless Virgin Mary, glorious queen of the world, intercede for us with the Lord.

3. LU 1861-2 Inviolata, integra et casta est Maria originated in the 11th century as a prosula for the Marian responsory Gaude Maria and became associated with the feast of Purification (2 February). The chant in Chapelle’s setting precisely conforms with the version found in a late 14th-century antiphonal of the O.L.V.-Basiliek (Church of Our Lady) in Tongeren, Belgium. For a transcription of the sequence, see Willem Elders, NJE, Vol. 24, De beata Maria virgine 2, Critical Commentary, (Amersfoort: Koninklijke Vereniging voor Nederlandse Muziekgeschieden: 2010), 63-6.

Inviolata, integra, et casta es Maria: / Inviolate, unblemished, and pure are you, O Mary,
Quae es effecta fulgida coeli porta. / Who made the gates of heaven shine.
O Mater alma Christi charissima: / O kind and dearest mother of Christ,
Suscipe pia laudum praeconia. / Accept our faithful hymns of praise,
Nostra ut pura pectora sint et corpora. / That our devout hearts and bodies may be pure,
Te nunc flagitant devota corda et ora: / Which now our devout souls and mouths entreat you.
Tu das [tua] per precata dulcisona: / Grant this through your sweet-sounding prayers,
Nobis concedas veniam per secula. / May you grant us forgiveness forever.
O benigna! O Regina! O Maria! / O kindly one! O Queen! O Mary!
Quae sola inviola permansisti. / who alone remains undefiled.

4. Hortus conclusus es, Dei Genitrix, fons signatus, surge, propera, amica mea. Liber Responsorialis pro festis I. classis. (Solesmes, 1895), 255.
You are an enclosed garden, Mother of God, a sealed fountain: rise, hasten, my beloved. (Song of Solomon 4:12 is basic to the text.)

5. LU 273-4. [App. 1]

6. Ave Maria, gratia plena: Dominus tecum: benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui. LU 1416.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb.

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.
