Ecce panis Angelorum by Peter Philips — Lyrics

About Ecce panis Angelorum

The text of this motet reflects on the Eucharist, describing Christ as the "bread of angels" and "food of travellers," a divine nourishment for the faithful. It draws parallels with Old Testament imagery, recalling Isaac, the Paschal Lamb, and the manna given to the Israelites. The second part addresses Jesus as the "good shepherd" and "true bread," imploring him to nourish and protect his flock, and to grant them a place among the saints in the land of the living. This setting is for double choir (SATB.SATB) and is sung in Latin, offering a rich and resonant exploration of Eucharistic devotion.
