I started to listen to Western classical music from 2008, from that time onward im trying all kind of instruments,Operas ,Symphonies etc.I always wondered by the power of the music to calm my mind midst of so many problems.Classical music listening is one of the best thing happen to me in recent years .The first CD i bought was Mozart's Top 10 Composition, i bought it at a Deepavali bazaar couple of years back.I was mesmerized by Mozart. Then comes Beethoven followed by whole lot of classic composers including modern composers like Philip Glass and Ravi Shanker.Many times i thought of writing about my liking in music but never spent enough time on it.So today decided to write about this beautiful composition.
This particular hymn was written by St.Thomas Aquinas in his book "Sacris Solemniis" .Beautiful lyrics ,
Cesar Franck was a composer whose composition for the above lyrics is most famous of all.Check out this video in this Renee Fleming sings "Panis Angelicus".. immerse in the beauty of music..

Latin Text
Panis Angelicus fit panis hominum
Dat panis coelicus figuris terminum
O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis
Pauper, pauper, servus et humilis
English Translation
The angel's bread becomes the bread of men
The heavenly bread ends all symbols
Oh, miraculous thing! The body of the Lord will nourish
The poor, poor, and humble servant
The poor, poor, and humble servant
