Singin’ That Anima Christi Prayer
This “anima christi” prayer, it’s a pretty one. I heard it once at a church social. It’s all about that Jesus fella. Askin’ him for help and comfort.

Different Kinds of Anima Christi Sheet Music
I hear there’s different kinds of this “anima christi sheet music.” Some for just one person singin’, some for a whole group. Some for singin’ high, some for singin’ low. Like that “Marco Frisina Anima Christi” thing, it’s got parts for “Soprano,” “Alto,” “Tenor,” and “Bass.” Don’t know what all them words mean, but it sounds like it’s for a whole choir. Also the “Soul of Christ” is for two people to sing.
I guess it depends on what you need. If you’re just singin’ by yourself, you don’t need the music for a whole choir, right? And if you got a whole group of folks singin’, you need the “anima christi sheet music” with all the different parts.
