The Credo is always the most difficult part of the Mass to set: all those words! Bach cut it up in different movements; Stravinsky used a rapid parlando. In the present work, the first soprano sings only phrases of the text which an individual believer can somehow accept today. Meanwhile, like a medieval monk, the clarinetist intones the Latin text through his clarinet. The final layer consists of the Apostle's Creed recited y an actual or virtual audience, on cue.
