Kyrie Humano generi, Apt 2

This setting of the Kyrie text from the Ordinary of the Mass is for three male voices (Alto, Tenor, Bass). The text, 'Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison,' is a plea for mercy, sung in both Greek and Latin. Such pleas form the opening of the Mass, and are suitable for any occasion. The composer remains anonymous, but the music is typical of a simple, heartfelt setting of the liturgical text. This arrangement offers a clear and direct musical setting for a male-voice choir.
