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).
