Pie Jesu — Lloyd Webber Orchestra & Choir Sheet Music
The definitive professional edition from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem — scored for full orchestra, SATB choir, soloists & organ, by Paul Lorenz
When Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Requiem premiered at St. Thomas Church in New York in 1985 — conducted by Lorin Maazel, with Plácido Domingo and Sarah Brightman as soloists — the Pie Jesu became an instant icon of sacred music. Its ethereal duet between soprano and boy soprano, floating above shimmering orchestral textures, has since been recorded by Charlotte Church, Anna Netrebko, and Hayley Westenra, and performed at memorial services and sacred concerts worldwide. Yet for decades, professional conductors seeking a full orchestral and choral score have found only simplified piano reductions and educational arrangements. The gap between what this music demands and what the market provides has forced countless ensembles to compromise their artistic vision.
Paul Lorenz Music presents the professional edition the world has been waiting for: a complete arrangement of Lloyd Webber’s Pie Jesu for full orchestra, SATB choir, soprano soloist, boy soprano or treble soloist, and organ — faithfully preserving the emotional grandeur that has made this work a cornerstone of memorial services, sacred concerts, and classical crossover programmes. This is the only full professional orchestral and choral arrangement of this copyrighted masterpiece available anywhere in the world.

★★★★★The interplay of choir and orchestra is perfectly achieved here. The material is flawless and of the highest professional quality. In this scoring, Pie Jesu unfolds a truly spine-tingling atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Dr. Christian M., Choir Director
★★★★★A deeply spiritual and sonically transparent arrangement. It doesn't overtax the musicians, yet in a concert hall or church it unfolds an immense emotional reach.
