*************************
«Panis Angelicus» (In English: «Angelic Bread») is the penultimate strophe of the hymn «Sacris Solemniis» written by Saint Thomas Aquinas for the Feast of Corpus Christi as part of a complete liturgy of the feast, including prayers for the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours.

The strophe of «Sacris Solemniis" that begins with the words «Panis Angelicus» has often been set to music separately from the rest of the hymn. Most famously, in 1872 French composer, pianist, organist César Franck set this strophe for tenor voice, harp, cello, and organ, and incorporated it into his Messe à trois voix, Op. 12.

Due of his popularity, «Panis Angelicus» has become an independently performed song and is known throughout the world for the beauty.
