Description
Panis Angelicus was composed by Cesar Franck in 1872 as the fifth of six movements in his Messe à 3 voix FWV 61. The piece was originally composed for tenor voice, harp, cello and organ. The original key is A Major.
Panis Angelicus is Latin for Bread of Angels. It is the penultimate strophe of Sacris solemniis, an hymn written by Saint Thomas Aquinas for the feast of Corpus Christi.
Panis Angelicus is a beautiful piece that is perfect for reflective moments of the wedding like the communion in a christian wedding.
Lyrics
Panis Angelicus fit panis hominum, Dat panis caelicus figuris terminum. O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis, Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis.
The Bread of Angels becomes bread for mankind, Hence the heavenly Bread puts an end to all symbols. O miraculous thing! The body of the Lord will nourish The poor, the slave and the humble, The poor, the slave and the humble.
