The Recovering Choir Director

MusicaSacra Forum denizen “smvanroode” recently posted two chant settings of the Apostles’ Creed:

Today I received a copy of Psallite Domino. It has indeed the Apostle’s Creed, which follows the melody of Credo VI. It only starts with ‘Credo in unum Deum’ (Missale Romanum 2002) instead of ‘Credo in Deum’ (Missale Romanum 2008).

In the attached file I put the score of the Creed from Psallite Domino (where I adapted the beginning to the words from the Missale Romanum 2008, and I added rhythmic signs), as well as the score of the Creed found in David Hiley’s Western plainchant: a handbook (where again I made some adaptations so the text fits the text from the Missale Romanum 2008).

Can an English-language adaptation be far behind?…
