[1] Vita dulcedo

Polyphonic ensemble STBX

[D]-G2; Ct-C2; T-C4; B-F3. High clefs.[1] Entire range, B♭-g’’. Alternatim setting. Chant (App. 4), assigned to Ct as a cantus firmus, appears intact in breves and semibreves (e.g., “Vita dulcedo,“ 1.p. and “Ad te,” 2.p.) but paraphrased (“et spes nostra,” 1.p. and “suspiramus,” 2.p.). Occasionally, chant permeates the texture (e.g., ”Et Jesum,” mm. 54-9 and “nobis,” mm. 72-9 ). The cantus of Pierre de La Rue’s Mijn hert altijt heft verlanghen[2] assigned to D, serves as a second structural voice: the first 19 mm. to pars 1, the remaining 33 mm., pars 2, the entire melody, pars 3 and the first 15 mm., pars 4. The author of the text reveals his devotion to his fair love, devotion and reverence that also relate to the Virgin Mary. A layered texture defines pars 2 and 4 wherein two rhythmically active voices, T and B, interact imitatively, in parallel movement or contrapuntally, support two upper voices constructed of borrowed material. Partes 1 and 4 of equal length (19 mm.) suggest a symmetrical design. Text underlay is of limited concern particularly in the D. Final d (1.p., 2.p., 3.p.), a (4.p.).

1. Whereas C4 (T) does not qualify as a high clef, the clefs associated with D, Ct and B as well as the entire range suggest the presence of high clefs; high clefs define Pierre de La Rue’s Mijn hert.

2. The Chanson Albums of Marguerite of Austria, edited by Martin Picker, (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1965), 229-32 and Obrecht, Jacob, WereldlijkeWerken, edited by Johannes Wolf, (Amsterdam, G. Alsbach & Cie., 19), 64-6.

Myn hert altyt heeft verlanghen / My heart always has desire for you,
Naer u die alder liefste myn / The most beloved of mine.
U liefde heft my ontfanghen / The love for you has captured me,
U eighen vry wil ick zyn / All yours I want to be.
Voor al de werelt gemeene / Before all the common world
Soe wie dat hoort oft zeit / Whoever sees or hears us.
Hebdy myn herte alleene / You alone have my heart
Daarom lief en begheeft mij niet. / Therefore, fair love, do not let me down.
[2] Ad te suspiramus

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.
