[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

D-C1; A-C2; T-C4; B-F4. The most extensive presence of chant (App. 4) occurs in the 1.p. and 2.p. wherein each pars the “salve” motto anticipates the entrance of a cantus firmus in long-note values (D in 1.p. and B in 2.p.) coupled with sequential passages involving the full texture; initial pitches of chant introduce subsequent partes. Paired imitation (D/A and T/B) introduces 4.p. Compositional procedures typically used by Isaac abound in the antiphon: ostinati in A/B (mm. 242-50) and B (mm. 289-95); repeat of full texture at a different pitch (mm. 14-18 and mm. 94-106); and stepwise descending first-inversion chords (mm. 185-90). The ubiquitous presence of sequences descending stepwise usually with the interval of a tenth between outer voices defines each pars except the seven-measure 8.p., “O clemens.” Triple mensuration differentiates 1.p. as well as the conclusion of verse 7 (“ostende,” mm. 242-52). A melismatic text setting prevails. Final g, b♭ signature.

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.
