KYRIE: LAMENT OF THE CITY
“Side 2” is subtitled Mass for the Secular City and is, I suppose, a proper Mass set to popular rhythms, or at least the song listing seems to indicate that: “Introit: Sing to the Lord”, “Kyrie: Lament of the City”, “Gloria: Joy in the City”, etc. The repetition of “they can’t kill me, for I have already died” in “Credo: Death in the City” is particularly moving.
