Ego sum panis vivus by Giovanni Maria Casini — Lyrics
Ego sum panis vitae.
Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt.
Hic est panis de coelo descendens: si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non morietur.
Ego sum panis vivus, qui de cælo descendi.

About Ego sum panis vivus
Giovanni Maria Casini's sacred motet Ego sum panis vivus is written for ATTB voices. The Latin text draws from the Gospel of John, expressing the theological concept of Christ as the living bread from heaven. The composer sets the words of Jesus with a focus on the promise of eternal life for those who partake of this spiritual nourishment. The music reflects the solemnity and profound meaning of the eucharistic text, offering a rich contrapuntal texture suitable for liturgical use or concert programming. Its setting of this significant scriptural passage makes it a powerful addition to the sacred choral repertoire.
