Internationally acclaimed Norwegian-born singer, Sissel, performs \"Panis angelicus\" by César Franck, and arranged by Mack Wilberg. This performance came during the 2019 Pioneer Day Concert with The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square.
Lyrics:
Panis angelicus fit panis hominum;
(The angel's bread becomes the bread of men)
Dat panis caelicus figuris terminum:
(The heavenly bread ends all symbols)
O res mirabilis! manducat Dominum
(Oh, miraculous thing! The body of the Lord will nourish)
Pauper, pauper, servus, et humilis,
(The poor, poor, and humble servant)
Pauper, pauper servus, et humilis.
(The poor, poor, and humble servant)
Panis angelicus fit panis hominum;
(The angel's bread becomes the bread of men)
Dat panis caelicus figuris terminum:
(The heavenly bread ends all symbols)
O res mirabilis! manducat Dominum
(Oh, miraculous thing! The body of the Lord will nourish)
Pauper, pauper, servus, et humilis,
(The poor, poor, and humble servant)
Pauper, pauper, servus, servus, et humilis.
(The poor, poor, and humble servant)
Audiences still have not forgotten Sissel’s stunning performances at the Choir and Orchestra’s 2006 Christmas concerts and still regard her as one of the favorite guests of the Choir. The concert was shown in 2007 on PBS stations to 4 million viewers around the country. The Christmas CD, Spirit of the Season, was #1 on Billboard’s Classical chart for nine weeks and was nominated for two Grammy® awards.
