Alleluia: Caro mea by Steven Rabanal — 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
Steven Rabanal's setting of Alleluia: Caro mea is written for SATB choir. The Latin text is drawn from the Mass proper, specifically the feast of Corpus Christi. It opens with the profound statement "My flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed", words reflecting the mystery of the Eucharist. The composer sets this deeply theological text, exploring its themes of abiding in Christ and the promise of eternal life. The music aims to capture the spiritual weight and contemplative nature of the liturgy, offering a powerful expression of faith for the choir and congregation alike.
