Caro mea a 5 by Girolamo Giacobbi — 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 a 5
Girolamo Giacobbi's Caro mea a 5 is a sacred motet for five voices (ATBBB) setting a Latin text from the Gospel of John. The words focus on the Eucharist, describing Christ's body as food and his blood as drink, and the spiritual sustenance that comes from partaking in communion. The composer emphasizes the promise of eternal life for those who eat this heavenly bread, drawing a contrast with the manna eaten by the Israelites in the wilderness. This motet offers a profound musical meditation on core Eucharistic themes, suitable for services or devotional occasions.
