About Kyrie
Tomaso Cecchino's Kyrie is a setting of the traditional opening plea of the Mass, sung here in Greek and Latin. The composer's SATTB voicing creates rich harmonic possibilities, with the interwoven vocal lines reflecting the prayerful nature of the text. The 'Kyrie eleison' ('Lord, have mercy') and 'Christe eleison' ('Christ, have mercy') are presented with a solemnity appropriate to their liturgical function, offering a moment of contemplation and supplication. This sacred work is ideal for a choir looking to explore Renaissance and early Baroque sacred repertoire.
