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!
Performance Time: 5:30 – 7 minutes
Performance by JVE, the Friends University Jazz Vocal Ensemble.
I believe in God the Father, Almighty Maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, none can compare to His worth.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, the Virgin Mary brought forth a son.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, hung on a cross 'til His life was done.
I believe, I believe, this is what I believe, I believe, I believe, this is what I believe!
I believe that Christ was buried, He descended into hell.
Many thought His story was over, but there was still much more to tell.
There was still much more to tell.
On the third day He arose, on the third day He arose!
On the third day He arose! On the third day Christ arose!
He rose again from the dead the third day,
He ascended straight up through the sky,
Now in heaven, He sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty
Way up on high.
I believe, I believe, this is what I believe, I believe, I believe, this is what I believe!
I believe one day He's coming to bring God's judgment on the living and dead,
Then we'll reach the grand conclusion and He shall reign forever just as He said.
I believe, I believe, this is what I believe, I believe, I believe, this is what I believe!
I believe, I believe, this is what I believe, I believe, I believe, this is what I believe!
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,
I believe in the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
I believe in resurrection, that our bodies will be raised,
I believe in life everlasting where I will spend my days,
I will spend my days, I will spend my days in praise!
Amen! Amen! O this is what I believe!
