I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD

J.N. Aleze’s "I Believe In One God" offers a bright, rhythmic take on the Nicene Creed. Marked "Lively" on the score, the setting breaks the long profession of faith into twelve short, punchy verses. By repeating key phrases in each line—like "Mighty Father, mighty Father" and "He ascended, He ascended"—the melody builds a steady, marching momentum that carries the choir and congregation through the entire text without losing energy.

We sing the Creed every Sunday after the homily, and finding a setting that feels fresh but remains easy for the assembly to follow is always a plus. The simple, recurring refrain anchors the piece, making it highly accessible for the pews. It wraps up with a joyful, double "Amen, Alleluia," bringing the profession of faith to an uplifting close before the Liturgy of the Eucharist begins.
