Kyrie Eleison
TTBB choir, Solo, unaccompanied (Available for SATB choir with solo)
My first setting of the spiritual, “Lord, have mercy,” was a simple song using solo and choral accompaniment. After talking with a mentor about how I could do more with spirituals, the revelation came to combine the spiritual with the traditional text “Kyrie eleison” because of the translation. After a few edits, mostly added rhythmic interest in the final key, the song now exists in its final edition.
Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy, Save me now. Save poor sinner, Save me now.
Christe eleison. Christ, have mercy. Save me, Jesus… Lord, I’m troubled…
Kyrie eleison. Lord, have mercy. Lord, I’m sinking… Lord, have mercy…
