Thanks tenor for the wonderful comment. You are very right, the Kyrie and the Agnus shares the same thematic material, theme and nuance. It is not actually a concert piece, as you have said it is very church friendly. In my country, the Philippines, church choir are all amateurs. Not to mention that the catholic church service does not allow a somewhat concert type of music during the service. Moreover, I thought of making each voice melodically simple so that learning it would not require so much time. As for the piano part, well, pianist are rare commodities here, that is why, making a somewhat simple yet beautiful piano part has challenged me a lot.
However, I will consider your suggestion of making something new so as to make each piece somewhat related at the same time different from each other.
