Caro mea vere est cibus by Josep Picañol — 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 vere est cibus
Josep Picañol's motet Caro mea vere est cibus offers a profound musical meditation on the Eucharist. Setting a Latin text drawn from scripture, the piece speaks of Christ's body and blood as true food and drink, promising eternal life to those who partake. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic colours and contrapuntal interplay, as the choir explores the theological depths of the text. The composer crafts moments of intimate reflection alongside passages of powerful affirmation, reflecting the spiritual significance of the sacrament. This setting of a deeply devotional text would be a moving addition to a liturgical service or a concert programme focusing on sacred music.
