Et resurrexit by Claudio Monteverdi — 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 resurrexit
Claudio Monteverdi's setting of Et Resurrexit is a powerful testament to the composer's mastery of sacred choral music. Scored for two sopranos and two tenors, this Latin text is drawn from the Nicene Creed, a central statement of Christian belief. The excerpt focuses on the Incarnation, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, culminating in the triumphant declaration 'Et resurrexit' (And he rose again). Monteverdi crafts an intimate yet potent musical response to these profound theological declarations, offering a compelling option for choirs seeking significant Renaissance sacred repertoire for smaller vocal ensembles.
