maria gratia plena dominus tecum, virgo serena</I>. (Hail Mary,
full of grace, the Lord is with thee serene Virgin). Adapted from
a Gregorian chant, the opening phrases are characterized by
successive <STRONG>imitation</STRONG> of the soprano voice by the
alto, tenor, and then bass. Polyphonic imitation was a common
technique in motets of the period. Josquin varies the musical
texture with passages for two, three, or four simultaneous
voices. Note the brief pause at the end which is followed by a
moment of intense emotion during which Josquin expresses a plea
to the Virgin: <I>O mater Dei, memento mei. Amen</I>." (O
Mother of God, remember me. Amen.)</FONT></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/6CF4D376-5C7E-48B0-BA51-EB1485016083/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
