About Kyrie eleison
The ancient Greek plea for mercy, Kyrie eleison, forms the basis of this sacred setting by Charles H. Giffen. Sung in SATB, the composer evokes the profound and timeless petition, "Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy." The text, a central element of the Christian Mass, offers a moment of humble supplication and reflection. Giffen’s composition provides a powerful musical setting for this essential liturgical plea, suitable for contemplation and devotion within a sacred context.
