Credo by Tomaso Cecchino — Lyrics
Credo in unum Deum.
Patrem omnipotentem,
factorem caeli et terrae,
visibilium omnium et invisibilium.
Et in unum Dominum
Jesum Christum,
Filium Dei unigenitum,
Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Deum verum de Deo vero.
Genitum, non factum,
consubstantialem Patri:
per quem omnia facta sunt.
Qui propter nos homines
et propter nostram salutem
descendit de caelis.
Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto
ex Maria Virgine:
Et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato:
passus, et sepultus est.

About Credo
Tomaso Cecchino's Credo sets the Nicene Creed, a foundational statement of Christian belief. The text moves from the assertion of monotheism and the creation of the world to the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Cecchino's setting for SATTB voices unfolds the theological narrative through rich, imitative polyphony. The music powerfully conveys the wonder of the Incarnation and the solemnity of Christ's Passion and Resurrection, culminating in the triumphant affirmation of his return in glory. This sacred work, written in Latin, offers a profound musical reflection on core Christian tenets for a choir.
