    Summary

    / / History

    Credo iii (a). Png

    Until the fifth century , the Mass had no Creed Liturgical use

    Place of the profession of faith

    In the Catholic liturgy, the profession of faith takes place after the homily during the Mass , when the prescribed topics. They say the Creed to Sundays and solemnities, and feasts of the Lord falling on a Sunday, we can also say the Creed made for celebrations with solemnity. If he is saying is by all, it is sung by all, or it alternatively.

    The Credo is usually the profession of faith of the whole meeting. There is one form of a dialogue between the celebrant and the assembly where it says "Yes I think" to the various statements of faith. As Gloria , it is not necessary that it be led by a priest.

    The assembly expressed in the standing position.

    Alternative Forms

    Credo III (b). Png

    In place of the Nicene-Constantinople , especially in Lent and Easter season, it is possible to use the baptismal creed of the Roman church, said the Apostles' Creed. For years, the only officially form prescribed by the Ordo Missae was the Nicene Creed. The use of the Apostles' Creed has been officially recognized in the 2002 Roman Missal. Until then, its use in the Mass was a liturgical abuse, but that was almost routine in France from the 1970s. There has however been a return of the Nicene Creed from 1979.

    The Easter liturgy provides for the renewal of the promises of baptism as a form of faith , instead of the usual formula. The rite of confirmation has provided other forms of faith, more youth-friendly. But "it is not permissible to use a profession of faith is not in the liturgical books."

    Inclination

    In the Roman Catholic Church, when we recite the Creed at Mass, the items specified in (paragraph No. 18 of the Ordo) that he must bow during the passage "Et incarnatus est Spiritu Sancto ex Maria of Virginia, and is homo factus. ("Through the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary and became man. ") It is the same when it is the Apostles' Creed is used (" Quae verba Ad sequuntur, usque ad Maria Virgine, omnes tilting "). The use of bow and mention the incarnation has been established by St. Louis.

    In the extraordinary form of Roman rite, it is customary to make a genuflection to those passages. Genuflection has been maintained as solemnities of the Annunciation and Christmas (overview of the Roman Missal, 98) in the usual form.

    Credo III (c). Png

    The creed "angels"

    The most famous credo (the one that was chosen by the "Jubilate Deo" for all meetings can have a minimum common directory) is the Credo III, called "angels creed." It dates from the seventeenth century.

    Composition of late, this piece does not at all the modal characteristics of the traditional Gregorian repertoire. The characteristics "modern", it is rather a good example of changing the directory to the modern major and minor modes.

    • It is classified in the fifth mode (F mode), but if it is constantly downside: it's actually a piece in C major, whose writing has been transposed in F. This is the preferred mode of modern plays in major mode , both by the possibility it offers to play on a sensitive (half-ton as his), and the modal modulation made possible by the so variable.
    • The changes in the melodic line is very broad, well above the intervals of a second or third modal music compositions.
    • The melody travels throughout the octave , and consistently plays on the contrast between his upper and his lower.

    Other shades of Creed

    The Vatican edition of the Gradual gives eight shades of Creed. Other shades are more traditional, and generally have been composed between XI and XIII centuries.

    Being a long prayer, the creed is always room style syllabic ; older versions even have a nature psalm clearly marked. In most cases, only the " Amen "final stands out a little melisma.

    Notes

    1. Because of the rise of liberalism and free inquiry in Protestantism, some Protestants are reserved on the principle of the profession of faith.
    2. used in all churches.
    3. in use among Catholics and some Protestants.
