What is the meaning of Pie Jesu?

"Pie Jesu" is the Latin vocative for "Pious Jesus" though it is usually translated as "O Sweet Jesus" as part of invocations in prayer. An exact translation of a song such as this is clearly difficult to give. It is the feeling that counts most. The lyrics and translation into English given in the CD-booklet of Voice of an Angel (1998) from Charlotte Church, for example, are: Latin lyrics English translation Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu, Pie Jesu, Qui tollis peccata mundi; Dona eis requiem, Dona eis requiem. Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Qui tollis peccata mundi; Dona eis requiem, Dona eis requiem. Sempiternam, sempiternam requiem. Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy, You who take away the sins of the world; Grant them peace, Grant them peace. Lamb of God, Lamb of God, Lamb of God, Lamb of God, You who take away the sins of the world; Grant them peace, Grant them peace. Peace everlasting, everlasting. The last line is actually "Everlasting, everlasting peace" of course. By the way, the translation of "requiem" as "peace" is, religiously speaking, not really correct: it is better to use "rest", as in the first translation. The translation of the Latin phrase, "Pie Jesu" as "Lord, have mercy" is incorrect. A better translation would be "Devoted Jesus", "Faithful Jesus", "O Sweet Jesus", or perhaps even "Merciful Jesus".The writer might have had the phrase "Kyrie eleison" in mind, which is actually Greek. Another translation of "sempiternam requiem"is "Grant them eternal rest". It translates as Blessed Jesus, or Sanctified Jesus.


When did Mozart write the Hostias?

1791. He wrote initial violin part, then just the vocal and organ parts subsequently. It is the last piece of music that he had any personal input in as he died shortly thereafter (the Quam olim fugue was also written mainly by Mozart). The orchestration for Hostias as well as the Sanctus and Agnus Dei movements for the Requiem were completed by Franz Süssmayr who was a student of Mozart's. The final part of the Requiem which Mozart completed in its entirety was the Confutatis movement as well as the first 8 bars of the Lacrimosa (the part which ends with "Judicandus homo reus" for the first time).


Who finish the Requiem mass music after Mozart died?

In 1791, the last year of his life, Mozart received a commission to compose a Requiem by a nobleman named Franz von Walsegg. Walsegg communicated with Mozart anonymously through intermediaries, so Mozart never knew who actually had commissioned the work. Walsegg was fond of commissioning pieces from composers and passing them off as his own. In the case of the Requiem, he intended to have it performed as his own work in memory of his late wife. Mozart was paid half his fee for composing the Requiem up-front, with the balance to be paid upon completion and delivery of the score. When he died in December, 1791 leaving it unfinished, his wife Constanze, desperate for money, asked several composers to complete it for her so she could collect the final payment. Mozart's student Franz Sussmayr ended up completing the work, though he was not Constanze's first choice. After a performance was arranged for Constanze's benefit January, 1793, the score was delivered to Walsegg and it was performed in memory of his wife in December, 1793. If you mean to ask what instruments/voices Mozart intended for his Requiem, it is scored for: 2 Bassett Horns (a relative of the clarinet), 2 Bassoons, 2 Trumpets in D, 3 Trombones, Timpani, Strings (Violin I, Violin II, Viola, 'Cello and Bass) and Organ, accompanying Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass soloists and Chorus.
