Frank Martin Mass for unaccompanied double choir: Kyrie performed by Vox Reflexa

The following is the Kyrie from Frank Martin's (1890 - 1974) Messe. This performance was part of Vox Reflexa's public dress rehearsal for its local audience at the First Presbyterian Church of Bloomington in preparation for its concert at the St. Louis Abbey Church concert later in the Spring.

The vocal ensemble Vox Reflexa meaning "Echo", strives to present at the highest level, contemporary polyphony rooted in western medieval tradition. The ensemble has been heralded as "[a] balanced group of beautiful voices that brought the audience to its feet several times. The concert was a rousing success for all concerned. (Journal and Courier, 2010)" The members of Vox Reflexa are young professionals and alumni of the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University who hold advanced degrees from the finest institutions from the USA, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. The ensemble was founded in 2009 by Benjamin L. Geier and is based in Bloomington, Indiana, USA.

Kyrie eleison,
Christe eleison,
Kyrie eleison.

Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy,
Lord have mercy.
