[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble SATB

C-C2; A-C3; T-C4; B-F4. The structure of this alterntim setting of even-numbered verses is singular. “Ad te suspiramus,” the initial text of 3.p. appears to have been omitted. On the other hand, the inclusion of “misericordes oculos,” a textual segment of verse 5, the centerpiece of the antiphon is unusual,[1] and verses 7-9 are combined in the final polyphonic verset. Chant[2] introduces “vita” (“salve”) motto as breves within an imitative texture (B, T, A, C, mm. 1-10) and continues in C as a cantus firmus; chant associated with specific words also permeates the texture (e.g., “et flentes,” C, T, B, A, mm. 37-42; “lacrimarum,” C, A, T, B, mm. 46-50, and “fructum,” B, A, T, C, mm. 78-83). Plainsong serves as cantus firmus in longae, breves and semibreves (T) associated with “O clemens, O pia.” Textual phrases are articulated through cadences, silence or contrasts of texture (imitation, homophony or voice independence). The antiphon concludes with a new motive (“virgo”) treated imitatively in the final measures (118-22) reminiscent of the conclusion of pars 1 (mm. 29-33). Final d; editorial b-flats are necessary.

1. Bernadette Nelson cites a similar inclusion in Pedro de Escobar’s Salve Regina (SR088). Nelson defines compositional procedures and stylistic features characteristic of this anonymous Salve regina and settings by Pedro de Escobar and Juan Ancieta (SR011) in “From Anchieta to Guerrero: The Salve Regina in Portuguese Sources and an Unknown Early Spanish Alternatim Setting.” Revista Portuguesa de Musicologia nova série v/1 (2019): 113-56.

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.
