Credo in B major by Francesco Ciampi — Lyrics
Credo in unum Deum.
Patrem omnipotentem,
factorem caeli et terrae,
visibilium omnium et invisibilium.
Et in unum Dominum
Jesum Christum,
Filium Dei unigenitum,
Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula.
Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine,
Deum verum de Deo vero.
Genitum, non factum,
consubstantialem Patri:
per quem omnia facta sunt.
Qui propter nos homines
et propter nostram salutem
descendit de caelis.
Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto
ex Maria Virgine:
Et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato:
passus, et sepultus est.

About Credo in B major
Francesco Ciampi's setting of the Credo in B major is a striking work for SATB choir, sung in Latin. It is part of a larger Mass setting, a cornerstone of Catholic liturgy. The text proclaims belief in one God, the Father, Creator of all things, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, born of the Virgin Mary, who descended from heaven for our salvation. Ciampi's music gives full voice to the theological weight of this declaration of faith, from the affirmation of Christ's divinity and incarnation to his suffering, death, and resurrection. The setting is designed to articulate the solemnity and grandeur of the Nicene Creed.
