"Pie Jesu" from Requiem (Opus 48 No 4) for Flute & Harp

Composed around 1887 in response to the death of his father, Gabriel Faure's Pie Jesu is actually an orchestral piece written for Soprano. He actually composed his Requiem in D minor, (Opus 48) between 1887 and 1890. This choral--orchestral setting of the Roman Catholic Mass for the Dead is the best known of his large works. Pie Jesu (Merciful Jesus) is a motet derived from the final couplet of the Dies irae and often included in musical settings of the Requiem Mass. The settings of the Requiem Mass by Luigi Cherubini, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Duruflé, John Rutter, Karl Jenkins 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 it, "just as Mozart's is the only Ave verum corpus, this is the only Pie Jesu". Although this work was originally created for Soprano and Orchestra, I created this arrangement for Fluteand Concert (Pedal) Harp.
