Abstract
Kyrie eleison é o primeiro de cinco cantos que são comuns a todas as celebrações eucarísticas e que por isso pertencem ao Ordinário da Missa, assim como o Glória, o Credo (nas maiores solenidades), o Sanctus e o Agnus Dei. Apesar do texto se manter, estes cantos podem assumir várias melodias consoante a festividade a celebrar, melodias de popularidade variável e que poderão estar também associadas a costumes locais ou de circulação limitada. A recolha deste canto nos manuscritos portugueses de cantochão, datados entre 1400 e 1650, permitiu reunir cerca de quarenta e cinco fontes manuscritas. O estudo realizado teve como objectivo identificar e analisar as melodias com a finalidade de perceber a forma como este canto foi adoptado em Portugal.
Kyrie eleison is the first of five chants that are common to all eucharistic celebrations, belonging to the
Mass Ordinary, as well as the Gloria, Credo (at major solemnities), Sanctus and Agnus Dei. Although the
text remains the same, these chants can assume different melodies depending on the festivity, melodies of
variable popularity and which may also linked to local practices or enjoy limited circulation. A survey of
this chant from Portuguese chant manuscripts, dating from between circa 1400 and 1650, enabled the
bringing together of forty-five manuscript sources. The objective of this study was the identification and
analysis of these melodies with the purpose of understanding the way in which this chant was adopted in
Portugal.
