Homo quidam fecit coenam [A man prepared a feast] (Luke 14: 16-17) – Thomas Tallis

Luke 14: 16-17 [Latin] – Jesus said, A certain man prepared a great feast, and he sent his servant at the time of the feast to tell the guests to come, for all things were prepared.

Come, eat my bread, and drink the wine which I have mixed for you, for all things were prepared. [Glory be to the Father…]

Original Latin:

Homo quidam fecit coenam magnam et vocavit multos et misit servum suum hora coenae dicere invitatis ut venirent, quia omnia parata sunt. Alleluja.
