YES I BELIEVE

"Yes I Believe" is a vibrant, call-and-response setting of the Creed, designed to make the profession of faith an engaging moment for the whole congregation. Rather than a long, continuous recitation, the composer breaks the articles of faith into rhythmic, bite-sized lines. The choir leads with statements like "Mighty father" or "Of the Virgin Mary born," and the assembly or supporting voices immediately answer with a resounding "I believe" or "Yes I believe oh."

This structure transforms the Creed from a standard liturgical text into a dynamic dialogue. Sung during the Mass after the homily, it keeps the energy high and ensures everyone in the pews is actively participating in the shared faith of the Church. The repetition of the central phrase reinforces the personal commitment of the believers, building up to a joyful "Amen, Alleluia" in the final verse.

Choirs will appreciate the straightforward solfa notation and the natural flow of the English text. The melody is accessible and memorable, making it easy for a parish to pick up quickly. It brings a distinctly Nigerian flavor to the liturgy, where faith is declared not just with solemnity, but with rhythmic joy and communal affirmation.
