The text of Ecce Panis Angelorum is drawn from St. Thomas Aquinas's Corpus Christi sequence, Lauda Sion Salvatorem. Set in the original Latin, this piece begins in unison with a newly composed plainchant, and later adds lush harmonies derived in part from the mixolydian mode. Organ can lightly double the a cappella SATB choral parts if needed; of easy-medium it is accessible for choirs of any size and ability.
CHORAL SERIES: Trinitas
VOICING: SATB
DIFFICULTY: Easy/Medium
LITURGICAL NOTES: Because of its focus on the Real Presence, this song is suitable for general use as a Eucharistic hymn, or during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, or at the Feast of Corpus Christi itself.
