Product Description
One of the most ancient, beloved, and enduring
prayers of the Christian Faith is the Kyrie.
In the language of the New Testament, Koine Greek, the
simple phrase "Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison" means "Lord, have mercy; Christ
have mercy." By utilizing close harmonies and a fluid increase of intensity, Mark
Klines composition is meant to suggest the heavenl-like sounds of grace in the hearts of penitents.
At two minutes in length, this Kyrie works well in both church
and concert settings, engaging a listening audience or aiding in reflective
prayer and meditation. In the context of the Mass, the liturgical form used is
three Kyries, three Christes, and three Kyries. This arrangement can also
function in the Mass as a song of thanksgiving after Communion or as an opening
or closing piece.
Mark Kline's Kyrie is written in ten indispensable parts, and can
benefit greatly from multiple singers on each part (especially the mens
continuo with its close harmonies).
