Kyrie, Polyphonic | Mercy in Harmony

Three voices. Three parts. Three colors.
score: http://www.kalamation.com/HolyLand/KyrieCasciolini.jpg

The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy.

From Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.

[kalamation]

Yes the choral is more glorious. The Psaltic more sublime!

[trocaria]

We Catholics have been RIPPED OFF for the last near 40 years of the now aging hippies and their damn folk music!

So THIS is what Catholic church music used to be!

Bring it back!
