In Cherubini's complete oeuvre and in musical classicism the Credo a 8 occupies an absolutely exceptional place. It represents the summa summarum of Italian vocal polyphony since Palestrina, employing the rich harmonic means of the early 19th century, and at the same time is Cherubini's masterpiece. For chamber choirs in search of new horizons the work is an exciting discovery. Score available separately - see item CA.4008900.
