REQUIEM, Op 48 Pie Jesu

Composers have been setting ‘Pie Jesu’ to music for the last few hundred years. But what are the lyrics to this beautiful Latin miniature?
At its simplest, ‘Pie Jesu’ is just two lines of text from the final couplet of the Latin hymn ‘Dies irae’:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona eis requiem (sempiternam).
Which translates as:
Merciful Jesus
Grant them rest (everlasting)
When Gabriel Fauré fell in love with the couplet and used it in his Requiem (1887 - 1890), his friend Camille Saint-Saëns said: “Just as Mozart’s is the only ‘Ave verum corpus’, this is the only ‘Pie Jesu’”.
Fauré might have composed one of the most famous settings of the couplet, but composers have been setting ‘Pie Jesu’ to music ever since.
