m.youtube/watch?v=4nCGxj7P7cQ Beethoven - Missa Solemnis Credo The movement opens with a chord sequence that will be used again in the movement to effect modulations. The Credo, like the Gloria, is an often disorienting, mad rush through the text. The poignant modal harmonies for the et incarnatus yield to ever more expressive heights through the crucifixus, and into a remarkable, a cappella setting of the et resurrexit that is over almost before it has begun. Most notable about the movement, though, is the closing fugue on et vitam venturi that includes one of the most difficult passages in the choral repertoire, when the subject returns at doubled tempo for a thrilling conclusion, beyond what we are capable of giving, The form of the Credo is divided into four parts: (I) allegro ma non troppo through descendit de coelis in B-flat; (II) Incarnatus est through Resurrexit in D; (III) Et ascendit through the Credo recapitulation in F; (IV) Fugue and Coda et vitam venturi saeculi, amen in B-flat.
