Pie Jesu by Andrew Lloyd Webber (piano only)

I did this the same day as the "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" video, as well as a vocal version of this. I decided to go ahead and post this instrumental version and I may post the vocal one later. Like the other Lloyd Webber piece, this is for my grandma, who heard me sing this as the last piece of my Senior Recital at college. It is also the last song she ever heard, as I was asked to sing it to her over the phone the night she passed away. It is dear to my heart (now more than ever before) and a big inspiration for me in composing my own Requiem, which I began a few years ago. I hope to one day post those original pieces as well. Enjoy and blessings to you for stopping by.
I miss you Grams!

Thank you so much for this because I find it so much easier to sing to than the other karaokes on here! This is brilliant. :) x

@welshbearhunt You're welcome. I'd like to post a version with organ and string sounds as well (especially since this piano's out of tune). I'm looking into a new stage piano.

absolutely beautiful! I am singing this at a wedding soon and you have allowed me to practice as though the pianist was truly here! I would like to know if you could possibly send me the sheet music? I will need to find it somewhere and have no one who could get it for me... Thanks again for such wonderful playing.

@kitsunemartin I love getting comments! Thanks for your kind words. Surprised to hear you're singing this at a wedding--it's a funeral song, you know. The words are saying "Grant eternal rest unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them". It's specifically for the dead, so it seems a bit inappropriate for a wedding--just thought I'd say something.

I actually am playing my own version here, based somewhat on the sheet music I have. It's readily available online to purchase.

@tuber33 (cont) I'm sorry, I don't have a scanner and don't really like to copy music anyway, but Amazon, music stores, etc would have this. You can get it for voice and organ or voice and piano. It's meant as a duet, but I sang it solo at my college recital. Just look for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem/Pie Jesu. So glad you have this for practice--I took it at a pretty slow tempo; the original is REALLY slow and sorrowful. Too many people rush it and it needs to be a meditation on Jesus' mercy.

@AshMeadow21 I just saw that you favorited this on your page! Thank you very much. Please feel free to share it--the more the merrier here! I hope to have the ability to post more soon, as I've been unable to for months.
