Panis Angelicus

by Christel Veraart

/

about

The Belgian-born but ultimately French composer César Franck wrote some glorious music, brimming with inventive, intoxicating melodies.

From the sunny Violin Sonata in A to the intricate Variations Symphoniques for piano and orchestra, any journey through Franck’s music is deeply rewarding. And yet, he’s far and away remembered for this one piece of music, Panis Angelicus, which has been recorded hundreds of times and is still performed frequently the world over.

The melodic line is sung by a solo tenor, accompanied by a relatively reserved organ and sedate string chords. Although known primarily as a stand-alone piece, Panis Angelicus was also included by Franck within his Mass for Three Voices. However, Panis Angelicus was completed in 1872 – twelve years after the Mass – so its inclusion was a rather belated affair.

lyrics

Panis angelicus
Fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus
Figuris terminum

O res mirabilis
Manducat dominum
Pauper, pauper
Servus et humilis

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.
