“French composer and conductor, Henri Tomasi (1901-1971) published Gregorian Variations on a Salve Ragina 1964. As with his other wind compositions, Gregorian Variations for Trumpet and String Orchestra and Organ reduction was well-received by audiences. Tomasi was born in Marseille, but his Father and Mother were originally from La Casinca in Corsica. Despite being pressured in to musical studies by his parents, Tomasi dreamed of becoming a sailor, and during the summer, he stayed with his Grandmother in Corsica where he learnt traditional Corsican songs. However, in 1921, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatoire and went on to become a high profile composer and conductor. Tomasi did not forget his Corsican routes, often incorporating themes of the songs he had learnt during the summers with his Grandmother into his compositions. Gregorian Variations on a Salve Regina is a highly unusual and modern work based on an old Marian Hymn (a song for the Virgin Mary). The variations exploit tonality, rhythm and structure amongst other aspects. This Tomasi piece is suitable for advanced trumpeters, providing an exciting, alternative addition to the instrument's repertoire.”.

Richard Allain presents a beautifully sombre and gentle setting of the Salve Regina for SSAATTBB chorus. Allain's close harmonies are set across a staggered texture, creating a seamless continuous halo of sound with each syllable melding into the next. The effect is developed as the density of the music builds, allowing each singer a level of metric freedom that allows a series of repeating phrases to blur into an undulating layer of sound against which the lower voices sing. A captivating and hugely atmospheric devout setting.

This Salve Regina was originally intended to be accompanied by strings and wind instruments. However, the wind parts merely double the strings and the voices, adding color but not indispensable. In our edition the wind parts are omitted, so that the intimate choral texture is heard to far greater effect, the strings providing it with a sometimes virtuosic frame.

Ferdinand Schubert liked the Salve Regina in F (1815) so much that he asked his brother Franz to compose wind parts for it. The piece was published in 1825 in Vienna by Diabelli with winds instruments under the title Zweytes Offertorium and in 1888 it was included in this version in the old Schubert edition as well as in all other editions published since then. The new Carus includes both versions and it is printed so they may be compared. This offers smaller ensembles an alternative to perform the work without winds and this version also has the added charm of being the original.
