Program Notes
Pie Jesu is a text from the final couplet of the "Dies irae" and often included in musical settings of the Requiem Mass as a motet.
The settings of the Requiem Mass by Luigi Cherubini, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Duruflé, John Rutter, Karl Jenkins, Kim André Arnesen and Fredrik Sixten include a Pie Jesu as an independent movement. Of all these, by far the best known is the Pie Jesu from Fauré's Requiem.Camille Saint-Saëns said of Fauré's Pie Jesu that "[J]ust as Mozart's is the only Ave verum corpus, this is the only Pie Jesu ".
Andrew Lloyd Webber's setting of "Pie Jesu" in his Requiem (1985) has also become well known. It has been recorded by Sarah Brightman, Charlotte Church, Jackie Evancho, Sissel Kyrkjebø, and others. Lloyd Webber combined the text of the "Pie Jesu" with the version of the "Agnus Dei" formerly used in the Tridentine Requiem Mass.
