Gregorian Chant- "Kyrie Eleison" remix

I had the idea to create this track, which mixes a recording of the penitential Gregorian chant "Kyrie" with a hip hop beat. The lyrics of the song translate from Greek as, "Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy." The video is symbolic of the sinner's road to Hell, and the ending symbolizes Christ's merciful redemption through the sinner's repentance.

(Beat is sampled from Gang Starr's "Take it Personal", image at the end is from phatmass.com)

@akantor09 How in hell is it disrespectful to add a drumtrack to a Gregorian chant?

[waverly24]

@akantor09 Disrespectful is the majority of entertainment produced today, this is simply a beat track laid down over Gregorian chanting.

very creative

[ringhiohc]

really good track...you could make it a little bit more bad,like with a techno kick

@SkullsAndPie I agree, but once you add it, it doesn't sound as peaceful or relaxing...at least in my opinion.

Reinterpreting a piece of religious music in a different manner is not disrespectful in any way, there were likely hundreds of interpretations of various religious songs back when they were written, they just obviously weren't interpreted like this. That said this kinda stinks, sorry.
