CREDO

"Credo" by Jude Nnam is a majestic Latin setting of the Nicene Creed, the foundational profession of faith sung during the Mass. Arranged entirely in solfa notation, this piece breaks the lengthy liturgical text into a recurring refrain and six distinct verses, allowing the choir to proclaim the core mysteries of the Catholic faith with clarity and reverence.

Sung immediately following the Homily on Sundays and solemnities, the Creed is a unifying moment for the congregation. Nnam’s composition gives the choir a structured, rhythmic way to navigate these profound declarations—from the creation of the world to the incarnation, resurrection, and the life of the world to come. The repetition of "Patrem Omnipotentem" in the refrain anchors the piece, while the verses move dynamically through the narrative of salvation history.
