The second movement from Heather Sorenson's Requiem is a unique blend of intimacy and grandeur. Scored for SATB choir with soprano and tenor soloists, this ancient prayer unfolds with soaring melodies and rich, expressive harmonies. The shimmering B section offers a modern-day rendering of the Beatitudes, merging Scriptural truths with today's issues. “Kyrie” is equally at home in worship or concert settings, and is available with optional cello obbligato or chamber orchestra accompaniment.
