  Kyrie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kyrie is the vocative case of the Greek word κύριος (kyrios - lord) and means O Lord; it is the common name of an important prayer of Christian liturgy, also called Kyrie eleison.
The Kyrie is the first sung prayer in the Ordinary of the pre–1969 Tridentine Mass, and is a mandatory part of any musical setting of the Mass.
In fact, because of the late date of most Kyries, it is not always clear whether a particular Kyrie melody or the apparently troped text came first; it could just as easily be the case that a syllabic song was converted into a melisma for a Kyrie verse.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison (Greek for "Lord have mercy"; the Latin transliteration supposes a pronunciation as in Modern Greek) is a very old, even pre-Christian, expression used constantly in all Christian liturgies.
The names of the various Kyries in the Vatican Gradual (for instance, Kyrie Cunctipotens genitor Deus of the tenth century, Kyrie magnæ Deus potentiæ of the thirteenth century, etc.) are still traces of this.
The Kyrie Eleison (as all the Ordinary and proper of the choir) may also be sung to figured music that does not offend against the rules of Pius X's "Motu proprio" on church music (22 Nov., 1903).

 The Straight Dope Mailbag: What does "Kyrie eleison" mean?
Part of the introductory rites of the Roman Catholic Mass, the Kyrie eleison (Greek for "Lord, have mercy") is a song by which the faithful praise the Lord and implore his mercy.
The beginnings of the Kyrie eleison can be found in Holy Scripture, mostly in the book that served as the Church's first prayer book, the Book of Psalms ("Have pity on me, O Lord..." Psalm 6:3).
The Kyrie was finally incorporated into the Latin sacramentary in the sixth century for Matins, Mass and Vespers, according to Canon 3 of the Synod of Vaison (529).

 Kyrie eleison
The acclamation Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy!) antedates Christian worship and is the one part of western liturgy that remained in Greek throughout the Middle Ages.
In Rome, litanies with kyrie eleison were sung after antiphonal psalms at the end of long processions on important holidays to the stational churches.
The incorporation of the kyrie into the opening rites of the Mass appears to be in imitation of these large-scale processions.

Obecną postać i miejsce Kyrie eleison w liturgii ustalił Papież Grzegorz I Wielki (590-604) dodając wezwanie Christe eleison (jest to wyjątkowe dla rzymskiej liturgii łacińskiej) oraz określając sposób wykonywania w dni powszednie i świąteczne.
Pierwotnie prosta budowa formalna (np.: AAA, ABA) i melodyka umożliwiały wykonywanie Kyrie eleison przez wszystkich uczestników liturgii lecz z czasem coraz bardziej rozbudowane formy (np.: aba cbc dcd) i melodie wykonywali przygotowani kantorzy.

 * Dusted Reviews - Kyrie Eleison *   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Kyrie Eleison’s mild success after their single effort allowed them to open for some of the late 70s bloated prog behemoths that went through Vienna, including Van Der Graaf, Amon Duul, and Collosseum.
The mere existence of Kyrie Eleison, though, points at a possible interpretation to the prog rock “question.” Prog, like disco, did not die out in most countries as it did in the US and UK.
However, by the 1980s this cultural space had closed down, and bands such as Kyrie Eleison were the last gasp before imposed austerity took its toll, with the inevitable results of nihilism, stagnation, and finally today, nostalgia.

The Kyrie litany of the Mass is no longer considered Trinitarian in its focus, but is addressed in particular to Christ, who takes away the sins of the world.
The deacon sings various clauses of a litany, to each of which the people answer, "Kyrie eleison." Of the Greek Fathers of the fourth century, Eusebius, Athanasius, Basil, Cyril of Jerusalem, and the two Gregories do not mention it.

When the priest had finished the Introit he proceeds to the middle of the altar, and there recited alternately with the server the "Kyrie eleison," or Minor Litany, as it used to be called in the early days.
Of such a nature are the words "alleluia," "hosanna," and "Kyrie eleison." But there is a deeper reason than this for retaining them in he Mass.
From the Greek we have "Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison," and in the Improperia of Good Friday, "Agios Theos, Agios Ischuros, Agios Athanatos"; and from the Hebrew, "amen," "Alleluia," "hosanna," "Sabaoth," "Cherubim" and "seraphim," and several others which occur now and then in the Epistles and Gospels.

Although the band's only album was released on vinyl in 1977 and later re-issued on CD by its instigator Gerald Krampl in 1991, followed two years later by the then unreleased "The Blind Windows Suite", the band remains to this day a very obscure group emphasizing, strongly on the symphonic strength of the seventies.
Founded after the demise of the band Phoebos, Kyrie Eleison is formed around keyboard player Gerald Krampl who combines his classical piano education with his love for Genesis, Yes and ELP.

It says that choir leader watches the Pope during the Kyrie in case "he should give him a sign if he wants to change the number of the litany." (Ibid) Towards the 8th century the Pope reduced the acclamations to just nine.
The first three were addressed to God the Father, the second three to God the Son (which in Rome became Christe Eleison) and the last three to the Holy Spirit.
