About Calix benedictionis

The words for Calix benedictionis are drawn from scripture, specifically 1 Corinthians 10:16, describing the sacrament of communion. The chalice of blessing and the bread broken are seen as participation in the Body and Blood of Christ. Nobuaki Izawa sets this profound text for SATB choir in Latin. This motet is suitable as a communion hymn, offering a moment of solemn reflection on the eucharistic mystery. The setting provides a rich harmonic context for this significant scriptural passage, making it an evocative choice for sacred services.
