Panis Angelicus, César Franck
César Franck’s Panis Angelicus has a gentle, flowing quality that resonates with the sacred text.
In E-flat Major, the melody is relatively stepwise with large leaps used expressively for warmth and lyricism. The legato and prolonged notes create a smooth, prayerful vibe. Dynamic contrasts are used to highlight memorable phrases, adding a worshipful nature to this song.
