Although César Franck won many prizes during his student days, his music was generally unrecognized by his contemporaries. He wrote in the Romantic style while retaining a Classical structure, and his later compositions were referred to as “cathedrals of sound.” Panis Angelicus is poetic and almost serene, and this arrangement by Philip Sparke retains all of the beauty of the original.
