Well, let's make sure we're starting from the same source:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dnv1hthyp7ss5h/Kyrie.xml?dl=0

I've downloaded it in two ways, wget and in Firefox.
Both methods give me  $ md5sum /tmp/Kyrie.xml 
7afd4aeb792dfe681b191979a384c4c1  /tmp/Kyrie.xml
$ 

The attached shows that the file claims to be encoding="UTF-8"
In emacs, the Copyright shows as \302\251 so I think you've
missed the preceding  (0xc2) character somehow.

Cheers,
David.
