The Messe à trois voix (Mass for three voices) is a setting of the Ordinary of the Mass for three voices (SATB) by César Franck. It was composed between 1855 and 1859 and first performed in 1860. The work is scored for SATB chorus and organ, and is divided into six movements.

The fifth movement is Panis Angelicus and is one of Frank’s much loved works. The piece is based on a Latin text that is part of the Catholic Mass, and it is characterized by its simple, hymn-like melody and its rich harmonies.

Here is an arrangement for string quartet.

O Lord Most Holy (Panis Angelicus) by César Franck

♫ piano arrangement by Stephen R Dalrymple

♫ I first heard this song as a child in a California public school general music class. I have loved it ever since. The Latin lyrics are a stanza of ‘Sacris Somemniis’ a hymn written by Thomas Aquinas in the 13th Century to celebrate the body of Christ in the Roman Catholic mass. Romantic period composer César Franck set the Latin text to music in 1861. The English words are a prayer to God. For several years I have wanted to create a piano solo version, but couldn’t get free from the styling of the piano/organ accompaniment versions I had heard.
