Crucifixus by Ruggerio Argilliano — 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
Ruggero Argilliano sets the Credo from the Mass in this powerful work for double SATB choir. The text expresses the core beliefs of the Christian faith, from the creation of the world and the divinity of Jesus Christ, to his Incarnation and Crucifixion. The music rises to the profound statement 'Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato', before moving towards the affirmation of the Resurrection and the Second Coming. The double choir writing offers opportunities for rich textures, antiphonal effects, and dramatic contrasts, making it a compelling choice for liturgical settings or concert performance.
