I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD

"I Believe In One God" is a straightforward, melodic setting of the Nicene Creed, composed by Ezeoke Celestine. Designed for the congregation and choir to profess their faith together during Mass, the piece breaks the traditional liturgical text into six distinct verses framed by a unifying, rhythmic chorus.

The arrangement uses a simple, marching solfa progression that keeps the choir moving steadily through the core tenets of the Catholic faith. From the creation of heaven and earth in the first verse to the anticipation of the world to come in the final stanza, the melody ensures the lengthy text of the Creed remains engaging and easy to sing for all voice parts.

Choirs often look for settings of the Creed that are memorable without being overly complex, and this piece fits perfectly into that space. The recurring refrain of "I believe, I believe, I believe in One God" anchors the assembly, making it an excellent choice for Sunday liturgies and solemnities where the profession of faith is sung rather than recited.
