A cappella Publisher Desc.  The "Salve Regina" chant is among the most well-known Gregorian melodies worldwide. This setting features prominent quarter-note motives and draws out varied tonal colors by spotlighting different subgroups of the chorus for different lines of text. Unlike more traditional versions, this setting repeats the prayer's closing triplet: O clemens; O pia; O dulcis Virgo Maria (O merciful, O saintly, O sweet Virgin Mary) thus intensifying the veneration.
