Pie Jesu: Simple Lyrics, Awe-inspiring Vocals
Sometimes the simplest lyrics can be the most awe inspiring, especially when sung by a phenomenal voice. I have been fascinated with Sarah Brightman since I was a teenager. The Broadway stage and Andrew Lloyd Webber made her famous, and her talent continues to be otherworldly. Her control and pure notes make me embarrassed to say I am a first soprano. I have loved classical and stage music since childhood, and Sarah Brightman is for me the greatest soprano to come along in generations. When you match her unbelievable vocal range to the simple lyrics but complex score for Pie Jesu, you cannot deny the touch of God on your heart.
The lyrics for Pie Jesu are in Latin, but the approximate English translation is as follows:
Latin
Pie Jesu
Qui tollis peccata mundi
Dona eis requiem
Agnus Dei
Dona eis requiem sempiternam
English
Merciful Jesus
Who takes away the sins of the world
Grant them rest
Lamb of God
Grant them everlasting rest
