Et Incarnatus by Antonio Caldara — 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 Et Incarnatus
This setting of the Credo text by Antonio Caldara opens with the awe-inspiring declaration of the Incarnation. The alto and soprano voices engage in a rich dialogue, painting a vivid sonic picture of the descent from heaven and the miraculous conception. The interplay between the soloists captures the profound mystery of God made flesh, with moments of hushed reverence and soaring exultation. Caldara masterfully uses the two voices to convey the theological weight of the text, creating a devotional atmosphere that resonates with the solemnity of the Nicene Creed.
