C I-G2; C II-C1; A I-C3; A II-C3; T I-C4; T II-C4; B I-F4; B II-F4. Entire range, F-f’’. Alternatim setting. “Vita” (“salve”) motto is absent in 1.p., but prominently appears in A I of 2.p. with text “ad te” (mm. 27-30) surrounded by imitative entries of chant (App. 4) associated with “ad te.” “Et Jesum” motive pervades imitative texture of 3.p. (mm. 64-74). Vaet’s Salve regina borrows from his motet Vita, dulcedo et spes nostra salve (1564|1, No. 9), but with a text addressed to Jesus:
1.p. Verses 2 and 4 of Salve regina.
2.p. [Et vitam sempiternam] fructum [crucis] tuae, nobis post hoc
3.p. O pie [Jesu]
The inscription “ad imitationem iay mys mon coeur” appears at the beginning of the model. The first phrase of the T of the anonymous five-voice chanson[1] is allocated to T I of both settings. A motet conceived for 3-8 interrelated voices also includes antiphonal treatment most notably with texts “fructum ventris tui” (mm. 88-92), “O pia” (mm. 124-9) and “post hoc exilium” (mm. 109-14); in preparation for the final cadence of 3.p. an inner octave pedal on g’/g (C II and T I) is enveloped by alternating voice groups (A I, T II, B II and C I, A II,
B I). Almost two-thirds of 1.p., 3.p. and 4.p. are full-voiced. Declamatory text setting prevails. Final g, b♭ signature.

1. No. 8 in VienNB Mus. 18746. Transcription in DTÖ 116, Appendix, No. 2.

J’ay mis mon coeur en ung lieu seulement, / I set my heart in but one solitary place,
Si très avant que ne s’en peult sortir. / Surely from which it cannot leave.
Tant plus y pense et plus ay de soucy / The more I think of it, the more I anguish.
Las! Je ne puis vivre a mon Plaisir. / Alas! I can no loonger live freely.

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.
