Ego sum panis vivus by Michael J. Drake, Jr. — Lyrics
Ego sum panis vitae.
Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt.
Hic est panis de coelo descendens: si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non morietur.
Ego sum panis vivus, qui de cælo descendi.

About Ego sum panis vivus
This motet for SSA voices sets a profound Latin text drawn from the Gospel of John. The words express the Christian belief that Jesus is the living bread descended from heaven, offering eternal life to those who partake of him. The composer, Michael J. Drake, Jr., crafts a sacred setting that reflects the solemnity and spiritual significance of this scriptural passage. The music aims to convey the deep theological meaning of the text, exploring themes of sacrifice and everlasting life. This piece is suitable for liturgical settings or concerts where its contemplative nature can be appreciated.
