ISMN: 9790060118838
Publisher: Boosey & Hawkes MP Ltd.
Last year, Karl Jenkins' 'Requiem' for mixed choir and orchestra was a sensational success, above all in Great Britain. Now Boosey & Hawkes publish some of the most beautiful movements of the work in separate editions for various choral combinations and piano. The "Pie Jesu" is a heart-melting setting of this prayerful text from this chart-topping piece of music by the composer of "Adiemus". It was arragned for mixed choir.
