Ego sum panis vivus 2nda pars Et panis quem ego dado

Peter Philips's motet Ego sum panis vivus sets words from the Gospel of John, focusing on Christ as the bread of life. The text contrasts the manna eaten by the Israelites in the desert with the eternal life offered through communion with Christ's body. Philips's setting for ATTTB voices explores the profound theological meaning of these verses, reflecting on the spiritual nourishment and everlasting life promised to believers. The rich, five-part texture enhances the solemnity and devotional character of the Eucharistic subject matter. This sacred motet is a powerful meditation on one of Christianity's central sacraments.
