Panis Angelicus - Westminster Cathedral Choir.
Panis Angelicus (Angelic Bread) is a beautiful hymn. part of a hymn written by St Thomas Aquinas. The music was composed by the French composer and organist, Franck, César in 1872 and it's his most popular work.
It is sung by the Westminster Cathedral Choir.
The establishment of a fine choral foundation was part of the original vision of the founder of Westminster Cathedral, Cardinal Herbert Vaughan.
Sir Richard Runciman Terry, was the Cathedral's first Master of Music and it was him who built Westminster Cathedral Choir's reputation on performances of music.
George Malcolm consolidated the musical reputation of Westminster Cathedral Choir during his time as Master of Music
The choir continues to thrive under the current Master of Music, Martin Baker, who has held the post since 2000.

PANIS ANGELICUS
Panis angelicus is the penultimate strophe of the hymn Sacris solemniis written by Saint Thomas Aquinas for the Feast of Corpus Christi.
The strophe of Sacris solemniis that begins with the words "Panis angelicus" (Bread of Angels) has often been set to music separately from the rest of the hymn. Most famously, in 1872 César Franck set this strophe for tenor, organ, harp, cello, and double bass; later arranging it for tenor, chorus, and orchestra, he incorporated it into his Messe solennelle Opus 12.
The phenomenon whereby the strophe of Sacris solemniis that begins with the words "Panis angelicus" is often treated as a separate hymn has occurred also with other hymns that Thomas Aquinas wrote for Corpus Christi: Verbum supernum prodiens (the last two strophes begin with "O salutaris Hostia") and Pange lingua gloriosi (the last two strophes begin with "Tantum ergo", in which case the word ergo ["therefore"] makes evident that this part is the continuation of a longer hymn).
The Lyrics: Panis angelicus fit panis hominum; Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum: O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum. Pauper, servus et humilis. Te trina Deitas unaque poscimus: Sic nos tu visita, sicut te colimus; Per tuas semitas duc nos quo tendimus, Ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen.
