"Pie Jesu" is at least 600 years older than Lloyd-Webber's version. It is the 19th (and final) verse of Dies Irae, the sequence of he traditional Requiem Mass. It has been set to music by countless classical composers - Verdi, Faure, Mozart, Berlioz , , , The original words are simply "Pie Jesu, Domine, dona eis requiem. Amen." ("Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest. Amen.") - The addition of "Qui tollis peccata mundi" ("(You) Who take away the sins of the world") and the final "sempiternam" ("everlasting") are nice additions by Lloyd-Webber to the original text. - When I was a church organist in Dallas, Texas, a few days after the Lloyd-Webber Requiem had its initial performance February 1985 on PBS, we began using this as an Agnus Dei at our church. (we were possibly guilty of a copyright violation, but nobody complained).

I simply removed the words Pie Jesu and started it with Agnus Dei,qui tollis peccata mundi ("Lamb of God, (you) Who take away the sins of the world") Then I substituted "Dona nobis pacem" ("grant us peace") for "Dona eis requiem" ("grant them rest") and eliminated the word "Sempiternam" (everlasting").

Las voces de los solistas llegan al corazón. El coro extraordinario. Gracias por compartir. El Pie Jesu que Webber compuso pensando en la voz de su entonces esposa, Sarah Brighman, suena, en este coro, de forma excepcional

That was great. That part at 1:48 were you can see their breath, wonder how cold it was.
It's good, because it shows they are actually singing, even if they are singing along with a pre-recorded performance. :-)
AMAZING
Oh boy, great to see this Boys Choir, rare moment we can see this Boys Choir. it's come from TV in angland?

The recording is soft, but I can still hear it very well! This is a lovely performance, both delicate and fine. 5/5
