Work introduction
A new, expressive setting of the "Pie Jesu" for soprano, violin and organ. The text comes from the hymn "Dies irae" and is often used in Requiem Mass settings.
World premiere on November 19, 2023 in the monastery church Niedernburg Passau by Yitian Luan (soprano), Margit Weinberger (violin) and Markus Eberhardt (organ).
"This Pie Jesu is liturgically quite practical, has a comforting effect and can be a thankful variant at funerals." (Carola Baumann-Moritz, Passauer Neue Presse, 21/11/2023)
