Homo quidam fecit

This motet by Gregor Aichinger sets a Latin text that vividly describes a great feast. The opening lines invite guests to a banquet, urging them to come and partake of the bread and wine prepared. The music, scored for SATB voices, would have been a fitting choice for services or occasions requiring solemn yet joyous sacred music. The text continues by invoking the Trinity, before returning to the theme of the feast, describing the food as life-giving provisions and the joys as angelic and celestial.
