Panis Angelicus

Scroll down to listen.

Gretchen Monson has arranged César Franck’s highly-recognizable tenor solo “Panis Angelicus” from Mass for Three Voices for solo pedal harp. The piece features extended left hand chords and arpeggios (up to and occasionally beyond tenths) which mirror the sonority of the original pipe organ and the gentle rocking of the original harp part. Pedal changes are thoughtfully and consistently marked, with one instance of the left foot crossing over to the right foot’s E pedal. It is a great addition to an intermediate student’s lesson repertoire or a seasoned performer’s background music and an effective choice for funerals and memorial services. This arrangement is part of Monson’s “At Your Fingertips” series of classical works arranged for the harp at a late-intermediate level.
