Here, as
also in his earlier Litte
Credo Mass KV 192, Mozart
made use of a church
music device which can be
traced back in
south-German and Austrian
church music to the
beginning of the 18th
century: frequent
repetition of the opening
words of the Credo. This
presupposes that the
setting of the words of
the intonation Credo in
unum Deum as part of an
ensemble composition,
which for centuries had
been intoned in plainsong
by the priest, had become
liturgically acceptable.
It was only a small and
syntactically logical
step for the word Credo
to be repeated before the
individual articles of
belief, thus
strengthening the
declaration of faith.
