Jesus autem transiens - Credo in Deum by Robert Wylkynson — Lyrics
About Jesus autem transiens - Credo in Deum
The composer combines the Nicene Creed with a biblical account of Jesus passing unseen through a hostile crowd. The Creed forms a powerful affirmation of Christian belief, while the Gospel narrative adds a dramatic, almost visual, counterpoint. This Latin setting is for thirteen equal voices, its intricate canonic structure reflecting the theological depth of the text. The composer builds a profound and moving statement of faith, culminating in a final, urgent repetition of Jesus's stealthy passage.
