Et iterum by Claudio Monteverdi — 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 Et iterum
Claudio Monteverdi's setting of the Credo text offers a powerful expression of faith, depicting Christ's descent from heaven, his incarnation, suffering, death, and glorious resurrection. The music unfolds the Nicene Creed's central tenets with dramatic intensity. This setting for three voices, AAB, is a significant work within the sacred choral repertoire. Monteverdi masterfully uses the vocal lines to convey the theological weight and profound mystery of the text. It is a compelling choice for choirs seeking to explore the rich tradition of Renaissance and early Baroque sacred music, bringing a significant historical work to life.
