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).

Composer
Victoria Vita Poleva
Victoria Vita Polevá is a renowned Ukrainian pianist and composer.
Her earlier works, including the ballet “Gagaku”, “Transform” for large orchestra and “Anthem” for chamber orchestra, favour avant-garde and polystylistic aesthetics. Since the late 1990s, Polevá has gravitated towards spiritual themes and musical simplicity, developing a style now recognized as 'sacred minimalism'.
Polevá's compositions have been commissioned by prominent figures in new music, including Gidon Kremer for "Sempre Primavera" and "The Art of Instrumentation," as well as the Kronos Quartet for "Walking on Waters".Her works have been performed by distinguished conductors such as Vladimir Jurowski, Andrey Boreyko, Simon Camartin, Kirill Karabits, Volodymyr Sirenko, Roman Kofman, and Adam Stern. Her music has graced prestigious venues like the Berlin Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall, Barbican Hall, and Royal Festival Hall.
In 2023, Polevá's 4th symphony for Cello and symphony orchestra, "The Bell," commissioned by LPO and DSO, premiered in Dallas under the baton of Kirill Karabits. The following year, Joyce DiDonato performed the American premiere of “No Man Is an Island” at Carnegie Hall.
Victoria Polevá is a Laureate of Shevchenko National Prize of Ukraine. Her recordings are available through Naxos, and her scores are published by Donemus.
