Partitions

Polyphonic ensemble SSAATTBB

Two contrasting choirs. Chr. I: A I-C2; T I-C3; T II-C3; B I-F3. Range, G-c’’. Chr. II: C I-G2; C II-G2; A II-C3; B II-C4. Range, d-a’’. “Salve” motto, as semibreves and breve, appear in B I (mm. 1-4) in identical disposition as in SR140 and 142; the remainder of the antiphon carries no chant influence. Salve regina verses or textual phrases are primarily differentiated through antiphonal treatment with juxtaposed or overlapping choirs; verses 3 (mm. 16-22) and 4 (mm. 22-8), and verses 7 (mm. 59-61) and 8 (mm. 61-3) alternate between Chr. I and Chr. II for their respective consecutive verses. For the remainder of the motet alternation of words (e.g., “salve,” Chr. I and “regina,” Chr. II) or phrases (e.g., “Et Jesum benedictum,” and “fructum ventris, Chr. II) dominates; alternation of specific words between choirs occurs infrequently (e.g., “illos tuos,” mm. 36-8; and “ad nos,” mm. 41-3). Tutti sections involve less than a third of the antiphon and typically emphasize concluding measures of verses (e.g., “et spes nostra,” verse 2, and “ostende,” verse 6), or of the antiphon (verse 9, mm. 63-9). Chr. I, harmonically independent, also supplies a foundation for Chr. II (mm. 13-14, 35, 44-5, 57 and 65). Declamatory 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.
