Talk:Pie Jesu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is completely wrong.

Pie Jesu appears not only in Webber, but is a part of other masses. Also, it was not written by him AND Webber is not a classical composer. nihil 05:09, 30 June 2006 (UTC) is editing.

Pie Jesu is a classical piece (I don't know how old, but nowadays the term "classical" does not actually apply purely to old pieces, but to pieces in a particular set of styles), and the page for Lloyd-Webber (NOT just "Webber") had information that pretty much stated that he wrote it. I apologize if THAT page is incorrect, but that's no reason to delete ALL of the information I had on it, for instance, that Charlotte Church has a performance of it on her Voice of an Angel album. I have no idea why THAT was deleted, since it doesn't exactly make sense to delete it. In any case, one need not be a "classical composer" to compose a couple of classical pieces, and the Andrew Lloyd-Webber page stated that he composed that particular mass, which I assume was composed of classical/gospel-style music.

I also have no idea why the "classical composition stub" marker was taken off of this article. I don't care WHO composed it, it's still a classical piece, and the article's an even WORSE stub than it was when I created it! Jeez, people. Be a little more careful when it comes to categorization, will you? :\ Runa27 01:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Since the article was not voted for actual deletion (and there is no longer an "Articles for Deletion" page for Pie Jesu, either), I removed the tag. I also tweaked the page a few times and added back in the Voice of an Angel information, since Charlotte Church is very notable and it was worth including, I thought. Runa27 02:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

I would like to give special thanks to GuillaumeTell for his adding more composers who have included a "Pie Jesu", clarifying which version of Pie Jesu was on Church's album, and marking what ties them together and the origins of the lyrics that do tie them together. :) You have been an enormous help!

I would also like to thank RobertG for his excellent tweaks to GuillaumeTell's edit. :) Keep up the good work, guys! Much appreciated! Oh, and additional kudos to TempyIncursion for adding the information on Aled's performance and correcting my silly mistake in my previous edit where I referred to Lloyd Webber as "American" instead of British!

All I can think of when I see this is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's what the monks are singing while they hit themselves in the head. --Bluejay Young 16:44, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
