I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD

"I Believe In One God" is a vibrant, rhythmic setting of the Creed by Chibi~ that transforms the profession of faith into an engaging call-and-response. Rather than singing the traditional prose text straight through, this arrangement distills the core tenets of the Nicene Creed into six concise, metric verses. It is an excellent choice for the Profession of Faith during Sunday Mass, keeping the congregation spiritually alert and involved.

The piece opens with a striking bass call—"In one God"—which the rest of the choir immediately answers with a bright "Yes I believe, do you believe." The verses are designed to be led by a Baritone or Tenor soloist, giving the piece a narrative, storytelling quality. As the soloist recounts the mysteries of salvation, from the creation of heaven and earth to Christ's resurrection and the promise of the world to come, the choir anchors the hymn by returning to the steadfast refrain. It is a joyful, confident declaration of faith that brings a fresh energy to the liturgy.
