Caro Mea by Oliver Hayes — 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 Caro Mea
Oliver Hayes’s Caro Mea is a Latin motet for SATB choir, drawing on the profound imagery of Christ’s Eucharistic discourse. The text, taken from the Gospel of John, speaks of the spiritual nourishment offered by consuming Christ’s flesh and drinking His blood, promising eternal life to those who partake. Hayes sets these sacred words with a clarity that allows the profound meaning to shine through. The music aims to reflect the devotional nature of the text, offering a contemplative experience for both choir and congregation. This setting would be suitable for liturgical occasions or as a reflective concert piece.
