Credo (a 2) by Anonymous — 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 (a 2)
This setting of the Credo is written for two male voices (TT). The Latin text forms the central statement of Christian belief, and this musical setting emphasizes its solemnity and theological weight. The two parts often move in close imitation, creating a focused and devotional texture. The composer, anonymous, presents the Nicene Creed's declaration of faith with a directness that allows the theological content to resonate clearly. This piece is ideal for services or concerts where a clear and contrapuntal setting of the Creed is desired, highlighting the essential message of the text through its intimate vocal interplay.
