That's from the Mass.

Lord Have Mercy on us. Christ Have Mercy,etc.

I played it at work many years ago. A friend and co-worker, also a former nun, really liked it. As she was Puerto Rican, I asked her about "Senor" being repeated, not realizing that it also means "Lord." Doris explained this and was highly amused by my initial impression that Mr. Carreras was imploring "Mr. God." ;-)

And it's you I have to thank for introducing me to this. Jose Carreras' voice is amazing.
