Schubert's Credo Mass in G
I'm putting more what dynamzics we did (which are written), because the recording doesn't really follow them, though it's the 'best' one I could find.
Also, the dynamics only makes sense if you really beleive/understand the text. Which I think is pretty freakin' awesome. Otherwise, it's kind of odd. I think this piece is a peice of genius. And.. I <3 it. LOL
Also... forgive them, they not how to pronounce ecclesial Latin. lol.
Credo in unum deo - begins piano and intense like something important is about to happen it kind of should sound like the entire choir is trembling.
Patrem onmipotentem- creschendo begins crucial point is 'omnipotentem'
Factorem caeli et terra - now we are strong, confident but not quite Forte
Visibilium omnium- we became forte then - on 'omnium'. EVERYTHING
Et invisibilium - dramatic drop to piano because of the word "invisibilium"
IN UNUM DOMINUM- "stoic trumpets" we got louder than they did. I love it! What do we believe? IN UNUM DOMINUM
JESUM CHRISTUM
FILIUM DEI
UNI GENITUM
ET EX PATRE NATUM
ANTE OMNIA SAECULA -
DEum de DEo, culmination of the "trumpets" into full orchestra
LUmen de lUmine, piano, but intense almost in a trembling kind of way
DEum VErum de DEo VEro- LOUD again.
The next part, he layers and it's absouletly brilliant the women sing
Genitum non factum
and the men sing
consubstantialem Patri
so... "begotten, not made, one in being with the Father" -- it's BRILLIANT amazing. I love it. LOL something you can only do with the voice and in parts. Ah... amazing.
per quem omnia facta sunt - together again, then...
Qui propter nos homines, et propter nostram salutem descendit de caelis- dramatic piano, we got even quiter than they did. it becomes more lyrical than the "trumpet" part.
Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto I love the treble (female) voice on this part.
ex Maria Virgine: - we DRUMMED that...
Et homo factus est.
Crucifixus etiam pronobis- ok... this. TONUS DIABLOS! Yes! Augmented Fourth in two octaves. AHH! and he used it THERE! It's AMAZING!
sub Pontio Pilato - grows more intense
passus, et sepultus est - we got quiter here
Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas- RESURREXIT!
Et ascendit in caelum: sedet ad dexteram Patris - lyrical trumpets, I think describe this
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, judicare vivos et mortuos: FORTE - He is coming to judge!
cuius regni non erit finis.
FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINIS!
NEVER ENDS! BRILLIANT AGAIN!
Credo, Credo (funny storry, Dr. McD-- STOP STOP... I believe you eat, too, but don't sing it! It's CRedo CCRRRedo, not Credo edo )
in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum, et vivificantem- again, like at the beginning- expectant.
qui ex Patre Filioque procedit.
QUI CUM PATRE ET FILIO - more trumpets. :D I love how it's the Trinitarian stuff that gets it :)
SIMUL ADORATOR
QUI CUM PATRE ET FILIO
ET CONGLORIFACTUR
QUI LOCUTUS EST
PER PROPHETAS
Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum mortuorum. - we just believe that.
Et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen AMEN- Just... So it is. I believe it. Nothing horribly fancy. just Amen.
