Bread of Angels

This popular selection is a mixture of a contemporary song and a traditional Latin setting of Panis Angelicus, reminiscent of the setting by César Franck. Composed originally for the Solemnity of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), this hymn is frequently used at weddings, as a Communion processional, or as a special piece for meditation. It can be sung as a solo, duet for soprano and tenor, or by an SATB choir.
