Credo, RV 592 by Antonio Vivaldi — 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, RV 592
This setting of the Credo, the central declaration of Christian faith, by Antonio Vivaldi is scored for SATB choir and Latin text. The Credo forms a significant part of the Mass Ordinary, and is often sung on Sundays and feast days throughout the liturgical year. Vivaldi's music gives dramatic expression to the text's profound theological statements, from the assertion of God the Creator and the Incarnation of Christ, through His Passion and Resurrection, to His Ascension and final return in glory. The setting unfolds with a clear, declamatory style, reflecting the solemnity and power of the Nicene Creed.
