Serena O’Meara’s arrangement of César Franck’s Panis Angelicus is for lever harp and any of the following instruments: flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn, trumpet in B-flat, trombone, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, violin, viola, cello, or contrabass. Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) wrote “Sacris Solemniis” for the liturgy of the Feast of Corpus Christi. Panis Angelicus (“Bread of Angels”) was a verse in that Latin hymn. It has been reset by many composers, including César Franck (1822-1890). Franck’s Panis Angelicus within his Messe à trois voix (Mass for Three Voices) has become his most famous piece.

I recently purchased this in great hope that a cello-playing friend and I would have a great piece of music to do together. However, I was greatly disappointed in the harp accompaniment. Extremely un-harp-like. Very difficult to play, it does not have musical flow. Do not recommend, only if you really need to play this with someone.
