Kyrie, eleison.
Christe, eleison.
Kyrie, eleison.

The Kyrie eleison (Greek for ‘Lord have mercy on us’) is usually the opening part of a mass. After a solemn orchestral introduction, the soprano soloist leads with the main theme in a lilting waltz time and the choir take this up in turn. The Christe eleison that follows is musically an episode in a quite different style – a piece of Renaissance counter-point marked, for the learned, ‘after Palestrina’. The choir then return to the Kyrie eleison, which we hear again with some musical variation.
