In Principio Erat Verbum (Majestic Creation Hymn)

Welcome to Songs of Faith & Sacred Prayer. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1) "In Principio" is an original, traditional-style hymn that journeys through the seven days of Genesis while reflecting on the eternal "Logos" (The Word). This song is a triumphant celebration of the Creator's power, from the first spark of light in the void to the sacred rest of the Sabbath. The music transitions from the mysterious, deep drones of a cathedral pipe organ into a massive, thundering wall of sound as the mixed choir proclaims the Latin prologue of John's Gospel. 🎨 The Visual Experience: The visuals for this video are a tribute to the "terribilità" and divine energy of the High Renaissance. Inspired specifically by the masterpieces of Michelangelo, the artwork depicts God the Creator in the active, muscular movement of shaping the cosmos—flinging stars into the sky and breathing life into the earth. 🔔 If this hymn inspired your wonder at God's creation today, please Subscribe to "Songs of Faith & Sacred Prayer."
