Credo (M8) D-Ju MS 33 by Heinrich Isaac — 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 (M8) D-Ju MS 33
This Credo setting by Heinrich Isaac is ideal for liturgical use during services where the Nicene Creed is recited. Scored for SATB choir, it presents the foundational statements of Christian belief in their original Latin. Isaac’s composition draws the listener into the text’s profound declarations, from the assertion of one God, maker of all things, to the miraculous conception and suffering of Jesus Christ. The music navigates the narrative of the Incarnation, Crucifixion, and Resurrection, culminating in the confident anticipation of Christ's return in glory. This work offers a rich devotional experience, suitable for choirs seeking to perform significant sacred repertoire from the Renaissance.
