Alleluia: Caro mea by Heinrich Finck — Lyrics
Caro mea vere est cibus: et sanguis meus vere est potus.
Qui manducat meam carnem et bibit meum sanguinem in me manet, et ego in eo [illo].
Sicut me misit vivens Pater et ego vivo propter patrem et qui manducat me et ipse

About Alleluia: Caro mea
Heinrich Finck's sacred motet Alleluia: Caro mea is set for SATB choir in Latin. The text, drawn from the Gospel of John, focuses on the Eucharist. It speaks of Christ's flesh as true food and his blood as true drink, promising eternal life to those who partake. The composer emphasizes the divine nature of this sustenance, contrasting it with the manna eaten by the Israelites in the desert. This setting offers a profound musical reflection on the sacrament, suitable for liturgical use or concert performance.
