Kyrie Eleison — Michael Ware (BP2402)

Statements of the liturgical text “Kyrie eleison” alternate with the English text “Lord God, have mercy” throughout this anthem. A variety of choral textures including soprano solo build to a high point before returning to a calm ending. Quickly and easily learned for the choir, but highly effective as a meditation or reflective moment in worship or sacred concerts. Lyrics Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Have mercy, Lord. Lord God, have mercy. Christ have mercy, have mercy on us. O Lord have mercy, have mercy, Lord.
