Kyrie (HL 8763151)

Nicola Porpora (1686-1768) born in Naples, was highly regarded during his own lifetime as both a composer and singing teacher. The majority of Porpora's musical output centered around vocal music - operas, cantatas, oratorios and sacred choral works. The majority of choral works were written for treble voices, this Kyrie being one of the composer's few works for mixed voices.
