About Kyrie
The familiar plea Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy) and Christe eleison (Christ, have mercy) forms the basis of this sacred setting. Fabrizio Perone sets this ancient Greek text for two voices, soprano and tenor. As a standard movement within the Mass Ordinary, the Kyrie is often the opening prayer, and its text expresses supplication and a profound need for divine compassion. This composition offers a straightforward yet moving rendition of these foundational liturgical words, suitable for a variety of sacred occasions.
