lyrics

Organ: Geerten van de Wetering

Pärt's setting of the Salve Regina has an extended hymn-like feel to it. Typically, it builds very gradually to a late, majestic climax - unison vocal lines at the outset, broader harmonies later, some intriguing eccentricities in the organ part along the way.

It was the wish of Hubert Luthe, Bishup of Essen Cathedral, that this particular text be set in honour of the building's priceless golden Madonna. The premiere was in May 2002, to mark both the Bishop's seventy-fifth birthday and Essen's own 1150th anniversary. (Meurig Bowen)


Lyrics by Hermann von Reichenau (1013 - 1054)

Salve, Regina,
mater misericordiae;
vita, dulcedo
et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus,
exsules filii Evae.
Ad te suspiramus,
gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.

Eia ergo,
advocata nostra,
illos tuos misericordes oculos
ad nos converte.
Et lesum,
benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens, o pia,
o dulcis Virgo Maria


Hail Queen,
Mother of mercy;
a life of joy?
And our hope.
We cry out
the children of Eve.
To you,
and groans
in this valley of tears.

Therefore,
Advocate,
eyes of mercy
to us.
And offer
the blessed fruit of thy womb,
And after this exile.
Compassionate, loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary
