In Marcel Zijlstra’s article from Tijdschrift voor Gregoriaans (original in Dutch, brought in English by Google translate) you may read how our heroes of early chant were able to chant any text as a versicle for a Responsorium prolixum. In the pdf you see the rationale behind this psalmody; very useful if you might want to have a R/.pr.V/. text!
