“Pie Jesu’” Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem is a requiem mass, which premiered in 1985. It was written in memory of the composer’s father, William Lloyd Webber, who died in 1982.
The best-known part of Lloyd Webber’s Requiem, the “Pie Jesu” segment, combines the traditional Pie Jesu text with that of the Agnus Dei from later in the standard Requiem Mass. It was originally performed by Sarah Brightman, who premiered the selection in 1985 in a duet with boy soprano Paul Miles-Kingston; a music video of their duet was created as well. The performance by Brightman and Miles-Kingston was a certified Silver hit in the UK in 1985. Brightman later rerecorded the track for her Classics album in 2001.
Pie Jesu has since been recorded frequently outside of the parent Requiem. Notable solo artists include Sarah Brightman, Jackie Evancho, Sissel Kyrkjebø, Marie Osmond, and Anna Netrebko. Charlotte Church sang it on her best-selling debut album, Voice of an Angel (1998). Angelis, a children’s choir, sang it on their eponymous debut album Angelis (2006). Moe Koffman recorded the Pie Jesu on his recently re-issued album Music for the Night (1991) with Doug Riley.
The Pie Jesu was voted number 91 in the Classic 100 Twentieth Century countdown in 2011 on the Australian ABC Classic FM radio station.
