Credidi propter quod locutus sum

The words of this motet are drawn from Psalm 115:10: 'I believed, and therefore have I spoken.' The text expresses a profound personal faith in God, a conviction so strong that it compels the speaker to bear witness. Arrigoni sets this powerful affirmation for treble voices (SSB), creating a direct and intimate devotional statement. The rich harmonic language of the Baroque era underpins the unfolding of this deeply felt declaration of belief.
