Six Composers – Six Parts – One Christian Faith

The text that celebrates a major anniversary in 2025 is central to most settings of the Christian Mass. It was initiated 1700 years ago, at the Council of Nicaea in 325. The final form of the Nicene Creed is the only statement of belief that all Christian churches refer. Carus has commissioned a new work to honor this 1700th anniversary. 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.
