KYRIE by Ezomo John O — Lyrics
About KYRIE
Ezomo John’s "Kyrie" offers a gentle, straightforward setting of the Penitential Act for the choir and congregation. Written in solfa notation, the piece weaves the familiar English invocations with the traditional Greek responses ("Kyrie eleison," "Christe eleison").
In the choir loft, this piece serves beautifully during the introductory rites of the Mass. The melody is accessible and repetitive, allowing the faithful to easily enter into the spirit of repentance and preparation before the Liturgy of the Word begins. The four-part harmony adds a quiet solemnity to the plea for God's mercy.
