Credo (MS 11) by Heinrich Isaac — 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 (MS 11)
These two settings of the Credo from Heinrich Isaac's Mass 'Pestilence' MS 11 present the Nicene Creed in a sacred Latin text. The music is scored for SATB voices. The first setting is a more expansive setting of the Creed's opening statements, covering belief in God the Father and the Son. The second setting, shorter and more compact, focuses on the Incarnation and Crucifixion, powerfully conveying the theological weight of these central events.
