Kyrie Eleison

Available for over a year

The first Greek composition ever to be commissioned by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Skylass's 'Kyrie Eleison' reflects the composer's rich heritage by referencing Greek tragedy, Byzantine church music and ancient odes and laments. The sound is original and fresh and, despite the deep connection with the music of Greece, resonates with people of any age or culture.
