Pie Jesu from Requiem (1893) by Gabriel Faure

There are many different composers:

Pie Jesu is derived from the final couplet of the Dies irae and it can be included in 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"
