Partitions

[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-G2; A-C2; T-C3; B-C4. High clefs. Entire range, B♭-g’’. “Salve” intonation in B. Introduced within a segment (mm. 1-7) manifesting invertible counterpoint (B/T and C/A), chant (App. 4) occupies a central role in the structure of the motet. Textual phrases may be defined by a single voice devoted to the plainsong melody, usually in semibreves, supported by new contrapuntal material (e.g., “regina” and “vita dulcedo,” mm. 1-18) but, more frequently, chant introduces textual phrases within an imitative texture. Chant particularly permeates the texture of verses 5 (mm. 59-88) and 6 (mm. 89-110). Each of the voices is either restated for verse 9 (B, mm. 43-51=52-6 and C, mm. 42-51=51-8) or undergoes variation (A, mm. 42-50=51-6 and T, mm. 40-8=50-6). The word “mater” is omitted in verse 1. Declamatory text setting prevails. Final g, b♭ signature.
[2] Et Jesum

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

Description

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.
