| |  Schubert composed several versions for this antiphony written for Virgin Mary. There are three versions for sopranos, orchestras and organs. One version is for tenors, orchestras and organs, one is for sopranos and string instruments and another is for four male voices. He wrote the standard mixed choir version at the beginning of 1816 and was published for the first time in 1833. There is no theoretical or rhythmic difficulty. It became one of the church music classics thanks to its harmonic style. |
| | |  Francesco Suriano, also known as Soriano, was a major composer of the Roman School. His style is similar to Palestrina’s and former composers. He followed the rules of the Concil of Trent, but he also developed polychoral music. He especially composed church music like masses, motets, Magnificats and passion musics. But he also composed madrigal songs. Four collections were published between 1581 and 1602. This “Salve Regina” is very sober and is a beautiful example of neo-tridentin writing. The falsobordone writing highlights the text of that antiphony addressed to Virgin Mary. |
| | |  This “Salve Regina” is written with a complete independence of all contemporary musical movements. This young Russian French composer distinguishes himself with his original works. This sheet music was arranged for unaccompanied choirs and written with a free counterpoint, that’s why the listener is immersed in his musical sphere and also immersed into meditation. |
