The text that celebrates a major anniversary in 2025 is central to most settings of the Christian Mass. It was first published 1700 years ago, at the Council of Nicaea in 325. The final form of the Nicene Creed is the only statement of belief accepted by all Christian churches.
Carus has commissioned a new work to honor this 1700th anniversary. Six composers from around the world – Dominick DiOrio, Keiko Harada, Grayston (Bill) Ives, Marten Jansson, Martín Palmeri and Victoria Vita Poleva – have each brought their own unique style to this multifaceted piece that represents all the major Christian religions equally. A symbolic work standing for the unity, diversity and solidarity of the Christian community.
Separate edition from the collection CREDO. Six Composers – Six Parts – One Christian Faith (Carus 7.461/00).

Grayston (Bill) Ives
| 1948Grayston (Bill) Ives has spent his life in choral music – as a singer, conductor, teacher and composer (writing as Grayston Ives).
He was a chorister at Ely Cathedral and later studied music at Cambridge, taking composition lessons with Richard Rodney Bennett.
After Cambridge he sang in Guildford Cathedral Choir before joining the King’s Singers, with whom he recorded and performed worldwide.
For eighteen years he directed the Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford. During his tenure the choir earned a Grammy nomination for a disc of music by Orlando Gibbons, and gave the première of Paul McCartney’s Ecce Cor Meum, which was written especially for them.
He has a special interest in composing and arranging. Many of his published works, both sacred and secular, are performed regularly in the UK and abroad.
In 2008 his work as a composer and conductor of church music was recognised with the award of a Lambeth DMus and a Fellowship of the Royal School of Church Music.
