About I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD
Mathias Oche’s "I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD" is a rhythmic, straightforward setting of the Creed that brings a wonderful energy to the profession of faith. Originally composed for the parish choir at Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, the piece is built around a catchy, repeating refrain that the congregation can easily pick up. Instead of a long, continuous chant, the choir leads the assembly through the articles of faith in measured, melodic verses, always returning to that central, joyful declaration: "I believe in One God."
Singing the Creed can sometimes feel like a marathon of words for a choir, but this arrangement breaks the text down into natural, breathing phrases. From the creation of heaven and earth to the resurrection and the world to come, the verses carry the narrative forward with a steady momentum. It is an excellent choice for Sunday Mass when you want the Creed to feel less like a routine recitation and more like a vibrant, shared proclamation of what we hold true.
