Kyrie – Eternal Unity

Synopsis

In the Mass for Eternal Unity, the Kyrie begins the celebration with fervent pleas: “Lord, have mercy on us,” “Christ, have mercy on us.” This rite highlights diversity through music, allowing each singer to express their unique soul.

In section A, a central theme flows among the voices, weaving a harmonic dialogue that allows each one to highlight their individual expression within a collective mosaic. Section B delves into introspection, challenging the voices to unite on a common theme, demanding a level of empathy and agreement that culminates in complete expressive freedom. Here, diversity is celebrated as the source of a powerful sonic unity, demonstrating how contrast and concord can coexist and enrich each other.
