The third movement from Craig Curry’s five-movement Jazz Mass, Credo is a brisk cha-cha-cha with a text entirely in English based on the Apostle’s Creed (I believe in God the Father…) featuring alto and tenor soloists. The piece contains space for improvised solos (tenor and guitar). Curry suggests those with a jazz background improvise in marked solo sections. However, for those without improvisation skills, fully notated solos may be played sung or played note for note, ensuring an authentic sounding result. The piano accompaniment and bass part are also fully notated.
Available for download, your purchase includes pdfs of the conductor score, a choral score (Piano/Vocal), instrumental parts (piano, bass, drums, guitar, alto sax, trumpet and trombone), and permission to make as many copies as needed for your performance.
Whether performed as part of the liturgy or a concert piece, Credo is an experience your choir and audience will long remember!
