Crucifixus by Ryle Custodio — 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 Crucifixus
This setting of the Credo text is for four-part female choir (SSAA) singing in Latin. It is taken from the Mass, a central part of Christian liturgy, and would typically be sung during the liturgy itself, especially during the season of Advent, Christmas, or Lent, reflecting on the incarnation and crucifixion of Christ. The music follows the unfolding narrative of the Nicene Creed, from the affirmation of belief in one God to the conception and birth of Jesus, and then to his crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, detailing his passion, burial, resurrection, and ascension. The composer Ryle Custodio crafts a devotional setting, with the rich texture of the SSAA voices supporting the profound theological statements of the text.
