Homo quidam

This setting of a Latin responsory text unfolds with a rich SATTBB texture. The composer explores imitative polyphony, with voices entering successively to build a complex yet clear musical argument. The text describes a great supper to which guests are invited, proclaiming that all is ready. The composer skilfully depicts this sense of urgent invitation through flowing melodic lines and a sense of forward momentum. The setting culminates in the traditional Gloria Patri, before returning to the triumphant declaration that all is prepared.
