About Kyrie & Agnus Dei SS Nominis Jesu
This setting of the Kyrie and Agnus Dei from the Ordinary of the Mass is sung in Latin by a choir of four parts (SATB). The texts are ancient and universal pleas for mercy and peace. The Kyrie eleison (Lord, have mercy) and Christe eleison (Christ, have mercy) form a prayer for God's compassion, while the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) contemplates Jesus' sacrifice and begs for peace. The composer is unknown, but this music provides a solemn and devotional setting for these profound liturgical texts, suitable for services or concerts.
