Credo quod Redemptor meus vivit

Samuel Sebastian Wesley composed this powerful sacred motet for SATTB choir. Setting a Latin text, the music reflects the profound declaration of faith found in the words Credo quod Redemptor meus vivit – I believe that my Redeemer liveth. The text speaks of the hope of resurrection and the personal conviction of seeing God in one's own flesh. Wesley, a prominent figure in 19th-century English church music, brings his mastery of choral writing to this motet, creating a work that is both textually descriptive and musically compelling for a skilled choral ensemble.
