EINSIEDELN CODEX 611(89)  (ca. 1312)
Homo Quidam Fecit Coenam Magnam
 Versions of this Antiphon/Responsory are found in MSS. from the year 1000

 

THIS prolix responsory represents the musical and poetic application of the practice of lectio divina to the  liturgy.  Meditation on the meaning of Corpus Christi, the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ, has interwoven the Lord’s parable of the great feast (which does not have a happy ending) with the cry of Wisdom in Proverbs to “drink the wine” she has mixed. This responsory is also the focus of both readings in the Office of Readings for Wednesday of the Sixth Week in Ordinary Time (v. 3, pp. 209-213: Prov. 9:1-18; Commentary of Proverbs by Procopius of Gaza).
