Caro mea a 8 by Vincenzo Bertolusi — 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 8
Vincenzo Bertolusi sets a text drawn from the Gospel of John, exploring the profound mystery of the Eucharist. The words speak of Christ's body as true food and his blood as true drink, promising eternal life to those who partake. The composer's setting for double choir (AATB.TBBB) amplifies the devotional intensity of the Latin text. This sacred motet, intended for a cappella performance, offers rich harmonic possibilities and a powerful sonic experience for a choir seeking substantial Renaissance polyphony.
