Polyphony for the Kyrie and Agnus Dei

robertjohnson6211

Dear all,
Does anyone have a good recommendation for polyphonic pieces for the Kyrie and the Agnus Dei in Latin? This would be sung by a quartet of professional singers.
Thanks,
Robert Johnson

A cappella or with organ accompaniment?

Missa l'hora passa by Viadana is simple and straightforward.
Missa Secunda by Hassler
Missa brevis by Palestrina
Missa dixit Maria by Hassler

All should be available on cpdl

Shameless, I know, but would SABar be acceptable? http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/missa-brevis-a-tre-voce-digital-sheet-music/20229298
Certainly not difficult, but went down very well with my home congregation.

Another shameless plug. The (Greek) Kyrie and (Latin) Agnus Dei from my Ascension Mass are not difficult and lend themselves well to either accompanied or a cappella singing. In the Agnus Dei, for a quartet, one simply omits the (optional) descant.

Edit: For some reason, the Kyrie will not upload. But it has been uploaded here before in some other thread.

Addendum: Here is an earlier version of the complete Ascension Mass. The Kyrie and Agnus Dei are unchanged, although some of the other movements have been revised slightly.
