Several composers have written a "Pie Jesu" as part of their choral works. One that comes to mind in John Rutter.
Pie Jesu from Requiem (1893) by Gabriel FaureThere are many different composers:Pie Jesu is derived from the final couplet of the Dies irae and it can be included in the Requiem Mass.The settings of the Requiem Mass by Luigi Cherubini, Gabriel Fauré, Maurice Duruflé, John Rutter, Karl Jenkins and Fredrik Sixten include a Pie Jesu as an independent movement."Of all these, by far the best known is the Pie Jesu from Fauré's Requiem; Camille Saint-Saëns said of it, "just as Mozart's is the only Ave verum corpus, this is the only Pie Jesu"-.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_Jesu

Although a Pie Jesu is usually soft and smooth, it is from a requiem,which is a mass for the dead and the translation means "let them rest in peace"...them being the dead.
The top note sung is A.
Pie jesu.
"Jesu Christe" is a phrase that is written in Latin, which translates to "Jesus Christ" in English.
Pie Jesu means "Pious Jesus" (but it's sometimes sung as "O Sweet Jesus").There have been a few Pie Jesu written as part of the Requiem Mass.The classic one is by Fauré from his "Requiem".The recent popular Pie Jesu was written by Andrew Lloyd Weber as part of his "Requiem", and has been recorded by Sarah Brightman, Angelis, Charlotte Church, Marie Osmond and others.
