    hello everybody

    I have a question regarding the Kyrie which follows the Introit "Requiem aeternam" in the Missa pro Defunctis. The Graduale Romanum has both of them on page 94*. Recently I've listened to a recording by Schola Cantorum Plagensis which features a different Kyrie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS6uppki6Q8

    it is apparently a different version. can anybody tell me where I can find this version? maybe in the "officium defunctorum"?

    thanks in advance for any help!

    The last Kyrie is the one from the Missa pro defunctis with its remarkable fall of a fifth. The rest of the Kyrie is also in the 6th mode, but scanning through my Kyriale I couldn't find.
