Partitions

[1] Salve regina

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-G2; A-C2; T-C3; B-F3. High clefs. Entire range, B♭-g’’. Chant (App. 4), pitched on d’’ and cast in semibreves and minums, serves as cantus firmus (C), supported by three independent voices within a full voice texture. Salve regina verses are structurally distinguished through partes, or silence of a minum preceding verses 2 and 3. To complement the plainsong, the complete texture associated with “salve…miserecordiae” is restated for verse 2, “vita…salve.”[1] The word “mater” appears in verses 1 (“mater misericordiae”) and 9 (“dulcis mater Maria”). Notably, the phrase “unigenitum Filium tuum” (your only-begotten Son”) replaces “benedictum fructum ventris tui” in verse 6, “Et Jesum, benedictum…”. Final g, b♭ signature; e-flats included in printed source. A raised third occurs with each cadence on G.

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.
