Constantinople Ch 2 Kyrie EXCERPT

KYRIE (from Constantinople) - what you hear and see...
Conceived and composed by Christos Hatzis
Produced and performed by the Gryphon Trio
with vocalists Maryem Hassan Tollar and Patricia O'Callaghan.
An innate purity of spiritual experience forms the foundation for all belief. Gradually, this purity is diluted by human behaviour, as it passes through the filters of historical interpretation, and belief gradually becomes doctrine. Music and ritual reflect the ever-increasing complexity of religious "messages" in our time, as the initial, innocent impulse to worship becomes obscured by layers of conflicting interpretation.
