Ego sum panis vivus by Frédéric Debons — 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

Frédéric Debons offers a profound setting of the Latin Eucharistic text Ego sum panis vivus. This sacred work for SATB choir draws on the rich tradition of liturgical music, presenting a text that speaks directly of Christ as the bread of life. The composer's setting, in Latin, explores the theological weight of the words, contrasting the manna eaten in the desert with the eternal life offered by Christ's flesh. The piece unfolds with a contemplative and reverent tone, suitable for a choir seeking music that elevates the liturgy and provides spiritual reflection. It is a powerful testament to the enduring significance of this central Christian belief, offering a musical experience of deep faith and devotion.
