(visit http://www.carlschimmel.com to purchase score and parts) • Kannon is the “Goddess of Mercy” or “The One Who Observes the Sounds of the World.” Because it is written that Kannon may appear in any of 33 forms, many pilgrimages honoring Kannon visit 33 sites where statues of Kannon are enshrined. Pilgrims traditionally sing thousand-year-old sacred poetry called “goeika.” • “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy” was a surprise hit for the Cannonball Adderley Quintet in 1967. • Johannes Ockeghem’s Missa Prolationum consists entirely of mensuration canons. It includes the traditional Kyrie (“Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy”).
