Edition Schott

'Salve Regina, mater misericordiae' ('Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy') - known as a prayer of praise and supplication in the Catholic liturgy - is published in two versions, like other sacred works by Rota before. One version is for mezzo-soprano and organ, the other with additional male choir, but both have Latin text. This is again proof of the great variety of works by Rota who is at home in all genres, from sacred and secular vocal music via chamber music, concerto, symphony and stage works to film music.
Instrumentation : mezzo-soprano, men's choir (TBarB) and organ
