Credo quod redemptor

Scott Villard's Credo quod redemptor is a sacred motet for TBB choir, set in Latin. The text is drawn from the Book of Job, expressing a profound affirmation of faith in the resurrection. The choir is challenged to convey the deep conviction and personal certainty of the words: 'I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that at the last day I shall be raised up from the earth: and with my skin I shall see God my Saviour.' The composer's setting emphasizes this declaration of faith, offering a powerful opportunity for the ensemble to explore the expressive potential of the text through their vocal performance.
