Credo
Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorum coeli et terrae, visibilium omnium, et invisibilium. Et in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei, unigenitum. Et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero. Genitum non factum, consubstantialum Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt. Qui propter nos homines et propter nostrum salutem descendit de caelis.
Et incarnates est de Spiritu Sancto Ex Maria Virgine. Et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus, et sepulus est.
Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in caelum: sedet ad dexteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, judicare vivos et mortuos: cujus regni non erit finis.
Et in Spiritum Sanctum Dominum et vivificantem: qui ex Patre Filoque procedit. Qui cum Patre, et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per Prophetas
I believe in one God, The Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God. Begotten not made, of one substance with the Father by whom all things were made. Who for us and our salvation came down from heaven
And was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary. And was made man.
Crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate he suffered, and was buried.
And on the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and he sits at the right hand of the Father. He shall come again in glory to judge the living and the dead; and of this kingdom there will be no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who spoke to us through the Prophets.
Et unam sanctam, catholicam et apostalicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et expect resurrectionem mortuorum. Et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen
And I believe in one holy catholic and Apostolic church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I await the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen
Sanctus
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus, Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts. Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Benedictus
Benedicitus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.
Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi: miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi: miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi: dona nobis pacem
Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.
Lamb of God who takest away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

The Yale Choral Artists is a professional choir recently founded by the Yale School of Music and the Yale Glee Club to enhance and enrich Yale’s strong commitment to the choral arts. The choir is a project-based ensemble comprised of leading singers from around the country and is directed by School of Music faculty member Jeffrey Douma. Current members of the Choral Artists also perform in the ranks of such acclaimed ensembles as the Trinity Wall Street Choir, Chanticleer, the Handel and Haydn Society Chorus, Voices of Ascension, Seraphic Fire, Conspirare, and many others, and are also
leading concert soloists, particularly in the area of early music.
The Yale Choral Artists made their debut in an all-Handel program led by guest conductor William Christie at Yale and at Carnegie Hall in February of 2012. They have since performed as a featured ensemble at the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, the Yale International Choral Festival, and the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, and have appeared in two productions with the renowned Mark Morris Dance Group. Recent projects include a collaboration with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra in a program of Britten and Pärt, an appearance at the New York Philharmonic Biennial, the East Coast premiere of David Lang’s the national anthems, the premiere of Martin Bresnick’s new concert-length oratorio Passions of Bloom: Whitman, Melville, Dickinson, a program pairing Poulenc’s virtuosic cantata Figure humaine with Josquin’s Missa L’homme armé super voces musicales, the premiere of Paola Prestini’s The Glass Box with the Young People’s Chorus of New York City, and the premiere of Garth Neustadter’s Memory of Water with The Percussion Collective. Their debut recording on the Naxos label of new works by Yale composers Han Lash, David Lang, and Ted Hearne with the Yale Philharmonia was reviewed glowingly by Gramophone Magazine and Opera News, where it was hailed as a “Critic’s Choice.”
