César Franck: Panis Angelicus (Bread of Angels) from Messe a trois voix, Op. 12. Duration: 3:25, Score: 61 ms, 7 pg. solo part - 1 pg. piano part 3 pg. Poco lento. A popular Eucharistic hymn, notably sung at the Feast of Corpus Christi. This version is suitable for Lent, Easter, or any Christian eucharistic service. It is also a great choice for a recital encore because of the potential for musical expressivity. This music emphasizes sensitive phrasing, dynamics, tone color, and rubato. Text (St. Thomas Aquinas) "Panis angelicus fit panis hominum; Dat panis cœlicus figuris terminum: O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum Pauper, Pauper, servus et humilis. Te trina Deitas unaque poscimus: Sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus; Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, Ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen. Translation May the Bread of Angels Become bread for mankind; The Bread of Heaven puts All foreshadowings to an end; Oh, thing miraculous! The body of the Lord will nourish the poor, the poor, the servile, and the humble. You God, Three In One, we beseech; That You visit us, As we worship You. By Your ways, lead us where we are heading, to the light that You inhabitest. Amen." -Wikipedia
