Et unam sanctam catholicam by Francisco Valls — 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 unam sanctam catholicam
Francisco Valls's Et unam sanctam catholicam is a setting of the Nicene Creed, a foundational statement of Christian belief. This SATB arrangement offers a powerful rendition of the text, sung in Latin. The music reflects the theological weight of the Credo, moving from the declaration of one God to the mystery of the Incarnation and the hope of resurrection. It is ideal for liturgical services or concert settings where the profound message of the Creed can be explored through choral sound. Valls's work provides an opportunity for choirs to engage with a significant text from Christian tradition, rendered with a rich SATB texture.
