Composer's Note: Kyrielle is an invocation to the Virgin Mary. The title is from a medieval French poetic form based on the Kyrie ("God have mercy on us"). The word Kyrielle also evokes a feminine meaning, with the French "elle" ("she") embedded in the word. The title then can mean "Goddess have mercy on us," and can refer to all compassionate female spirits, including the Chinese Kwan-Yin, the Japanese Kannon, and the Tibetan Tara. Show more
