General Information

Title: Kyrie "Orbis factor"
Composer: Christopher Tye

Number of voices: 4vv   Voicing: ATTB

Genre: SacredMass propers

Language: Greek
Instruments: a cappella

Description: This Kyrie setting alternates between chant (sung by a full choir) and polyphony (sung by soloists); polyphonic sections freely paraphrase the Orbis factor melody. The lack of a proper trope (common English practice) suggests this setting was used at the daily Lady-Mass or on simple feasts.
