Caro Mea by Giudoco Traghi — Lyrics
Caro mea vere est cibus: et sanguis meus vere est potus.
Qui manducat meam carnem et bibit meum sanguinem in me manet, et ego in eo [illo].
Sicut me misit vivens Pater et ego vivo propter patrem et qui manducat me et ipse

About Caro Mea
Giudoco Traghi's motet Caro Mea is ideal for services in the Easter season or for Corpus Christi. The SATB choir sings in Latin, drawing text from the Gospel of John, which speaks of Jesus as the source of eternal life. The music vividly portrays the mystery of the Eucharist, with the choir affirming that Jesus's flesh is food and his blood is drink. The setting emphasizes the profound communion offered to believers, as it is stated that those who partake in Christ remain in him, and he in them, leading to eternal life. This sacred work offers a powerful musical reflection on these central tenets of Christian faith.
