"Kyrie Eleison ... Sinner, please don’t let this harvest pass ... In a world of disarray, in a world wracked with pain, we need your help, O Christ." This, the first movement of "Gospel Mass," displays some of the most vibrant, captivating, and deeply inspired writing of Thomas's long, impressive career. Perform alone or with the previously published "Gloria," "Credo," or "Sanctus" in concert or worship.
