General Comments: Panis Angelicus (Nation's Prayer) was written in 1872 when Franck was 50. Although the piece, is not technically demanding, the Poco Lento tempo offers the challenge of adequate breathing. This dynamic, sacred work was originally scored for voice, organ, harp, cello, and double bass.
