Product Description

"Panis Angelicus" is a well-known piece of music composed by César Franck. It is a verse from the hymn "Sacris solemniis" written by Saint Thomas Aquinas for the feast of Corpus Christi. Franck's composition of "Panis Angelicus" is particularly famous and recorded numerous times, making it one of his most enduringly popular works.

The hymn "Sacris solemniis" was written by Saint Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century, and "Panis Angelicus" is the penultimate stanza of this hymn. It has often been set to music separately from the rest of the hymn, and Franck's setting for tenor voice, harp, cello, and organ is one of the most well-known.

"Panis Angelicus" has been performed at significant events, such as the royal wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank, as well as the Requiem Mass for Robert F. Kennedy and Senator Edward Kennedy's Requiem Mass, where its beauty and emotional impact were particularly notable.

Inclusion in Mass: Although known primarily as a stand-alone piece, Franck also included " Panis Angelicus " in his Mass for Three Voices, adding to its significance within the liturgical context.

"Panis Angelicus" is significant for its musical beauty, historical and liturgical context, and emotional impact when performed at important events. Franck's composition of this hymn has secured its place as one of his most enduringly popular works.
