Credo quod Redemptor

Alonso Lobo's Credo quod Redemptor is a profound setting of a Latin text expressing unwavering faith in the resurrection. This motet, for SATB choir, would be fitting for services during Eastertide or any occasion that calls for a strong affirmation of Christian belief. The text, taken from Job, speaks directly to the composer's devotion, with Lobo's musical setting amplifying the confident declaration: "I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that at the last day I shall be raised up from the earth: And in my flesh shall I see God my Saviour." The intricate polyphony and expressive harmonies typical of Lobo's sacred music create a powerful and moving experience for both performers and listeners, underscoring the theological weight of the words.
