Kings College Chapel Choir Cambridge, 1987, performs Faure's Requiem. Here's the Pieu Jesu and Agnus Dei.
My God, but that boy soprano has a GLORIOUS voice. Perfect choir and orchestra for this style of music.
Faure wrote this part for a boy soprano. That is probably the best reason for it to be sung by a boy soprano.
The little boy is like an angel!
I hope more people get to hear this! We need more music like this in our lives.
I totally agree with you on that statement ❤
My mother choose this song for my brother’s funeral. It still makes me sad 40 years later.
may God comfort your family’s hearts.
The power of the human spirit and the art within us
The Pie Jesu's tempo is rather fast, but the voice is gorgeous. Imagine that purity of sound in a developed adult voice and it gives an idea of how amazing the castrati must have sounded in the 17th-18th centuries
the timbre of a boy's voice is perfection for this austerely sensual piece
Faure's Requiem has always seemed to me to be one of the very greatest pieces of music ever composed.
In France we say it is" le requiem de la lumière." Anyway that is the Requiem I want for my Funeral. My favourite piece is ,in Paradisum. 😇🤔
Une interprétation magnifique, tout comme celle de Elin Manaha Thomas, une autre interprétation splendide. Comme avec le Misere d'Allegri , le King's College Choir me ravit ; c'est tellement beau !
Love the soloist's voice...it's very flute-like and pure!
Merci Faure, Merci...
This is a beautiful piece given full justice by the King's College choir. The boy soprano has such a clear, silvery voice. I remember when I first heard the melody of the Agnus Dei, years ago, that I thought it was the most beautiful tune I'd ever heard.
yourforte he definitely has a beautiful, clear, silvery voice. However, I am picky about what music I like. Some composers are, in my opinion, better than others.
can't believe the nerves this lad shows. it is an incredibly hard song to sing - the breathing requires real stamina even in a relaxed rehearsal setting! well done - very moving
Just really can't understand who would dislike this one .. Even the gods should be shedding tears of joy .. so beautiful ...
I first heard this beautiful piece done by King's College Choir. Their take on it remains, for me, the standard bearer. Back in my college days, I had the remarkable pleasure to perform at King's College Chapel with the Heinz Chapel Choir...something I will always cherish.
I don't have words to define this masterpiece
The boy singing Pie Jesu - if that was your son you would be most proud !
I agree entirely with you, InsectQueen. I'm a gal, but have a boy tenor voice. It's being in this amazing groove of space, soaring, then staying up there. That is what Faurè intended. Effortlessness. Like grace. The boy is exquisite.
Agnus Dei is just so stunningly beautiful
My goodness! He is a revelation! Even if the tempo is a little bit quick, this is beautiful.
Wonderful
how beautiflly SWEET....,,the angelic boy...the music and the Nativity painting!
The voice of an angel
What a simple singing....so impressive.
The soloist voice is clear and immaculate.
Kings College boy's choir has provided choral to several moviescores.
Simply amazing!!
My Farther used to sing in Kings college Cambridge amazing place
truly uplifting, thank you God for having some folk with the skills to create beauty.
The most outstanding rendition I have ever heard of Pie Jesu. And there are many excellent interpretations to compare with. The purity of the boy soprano´s voice is more than stunning. It´s minimalistic, totally stripped of decoration and bravura. The Agnus Dei is furthermore beautifully performed. I am so grateful for notyobs to have posted it.
The Saints in Heaven are rejoicing over this song!
Having just performed Faure's Requiem for our Palm Sunday service and having lost my choir director, her husband, and her mother in a fatal crash with a drunk driver, listening to this and other sections brings cathartic tears expressing the grief I feel. Thank you

6.23 tears are streaming down my face. this is soooo beautiful. I am not religious but this music is sublime.
l'introduzione orchestrale dell'Agnus Dei è meravigliosa...
My choir days are over and we never got a vhance to sing this. Wish I had.
That is amazing and horrifying at the same time. I didn't know it was possible to be in choir for any length of time and not sing this.
My favourite Requiem; the Agnus Dei being my favourite part of the Requiem. I sang this piece; it's spine-tinglingly beautiful. Heartbreaking harmonies.
Our church choir is performing this in a couple of weeks. Beautiful song and well performed.
Fauré tellement suave !!!!!.💝
THE VOICE OF ALL THE ANGELS, SOUND OF THE HEAVEN
Beautiful and appropriate for remembering the real Christmas
This is an angel singing. I'm in heaven in this moment.
Oh Almighty Father! Pity for us! How beautiful sound way to carry our praises to You!
one of my favorite recordings of faure's requiem of all time. one of the best and most authentic recordings, as well.
fantastico
Very good soloist - and the choir too !
Kind regards from Germany
Faure pedía que sea con la voz de un niño... conmovedor
meraviglioso!
I first heard the Faure on the night that John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963. Since that time it has remained my most favorite mass. The Kings College Chapel Choir has done several versions of this and I'm still amazed at the wonder of their voices! Thanks so much for uploading this. It's a gorgeous work, beautifully done.
Arguably, one of the finest renditions i've ever heard!
beautiful beautiful,
I had the pleasure of playing this piece last easter, I fell in love with Faure.
Bellissima voce e coro fantastico
Faure intended both soloists to have that "cantor-like" quality as in the Catholic Church, pure, clear as silver, and lyrical, not vibrato-wide-a-truck-can-fit-through-it operatic. Excellent job!
The pie jesu's beatiful.
The work, and this performance, are both sensational!
This kid is beautiful. Perfect.
How beautiful - God bless this child - God is great and loves us - ...
Pie Jesu was sung by an angelic gift to mankind.
Beautiful how they do that, beautiful.
L'innocente pureté de la voix des anges qui nous élève ' faire chanter les enfants dans toutes les écoles devrait être dans les programmes d'enseignement
This music is a salve for the soul.
Fantastic. Thanks for the upload. Faures Agnus Dei is anything special in the world of the eternal music.
Voce stupenda. Coro magnifico
I think both boys and women can sing this beautifully. They each bring a different texture and substance to this amazing piece of music!
1:37-1:54.... Exquisite.
Love this, so pure and innocent
Gorgeous !
Phenomenal.
Очень красиво - прекрасная музыка и чудесный ролик! Спасибо.
Amazing voice for Pie Jesu and it helped me get into the school choir!
You gotta admit; that's pretty special. I haven't heard a better rendition of Fauré's Pei Jesu on YT. That young boy has a beautiful voice.Then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from the Kings College Choir. Thanks for sharing this with us.
This brought tears to my eyes, the boy is amazing! Wow.
@ilufiki i have expirience at being in a childrens choir im head chorister of chester cathedral girls choir i have sung the pie jesu many a time and it is indeed a compliment that i have a naturally straight boy chorister sounding voice because that helps me to sing the typw of music we sing at the cathedral almost everyday.
I visited your choir years ago, with the Friends of Cathedral Music! Can't remember when precisely, some time in the 1990s.
Just beautiful
this is the best of the choirboy the most wonderful voice. i got that on video and cd music.
Oui c'est beau. Je suis heureux vous l'ai apprécié.
Thanks. Great to be able to names to these wonderful people.
This is very nice...I love hearing this song...Really nice...
This is not a song.
I've only just discovered this piece. I don't know how it's escaped me for so long. It's so beautiful it made me cry.
It is beautiful! I first came to know about this when I sang it in my freshman year as a music student at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago in 1976. It was so beautiful, every time I hear this it brings back lots of memories!!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Shame CZcams sound so bad... I'm not a believer in any way but imo these menaced masterpieces are timeless expression of the best part of humanity. I'm not a connaisseur either but for me no female interpretation can move my heart as these young boys. Thanks so much for sharing. Merci
gaetan brisson I fervently agree with you.
Simply AMAZING!
This must be the definition of "angelic" singing . Wonderful
King's, how could one expect anything else but exquisite?
David Morton 👍👏they are the world's best choir!👍👏
Agnus Dei, qui tolis,miserere nobis,agnus Dei, qui tolis peccata mundi,dona nobis pacem.
That's the EMI recording with Dietrich Fischer Dieskau and Victoria de los Angeles. Really the all time best.
magnifique! superbe interprétation! Mille bravos!
I would give this piece (and performance) 50 stars if I could, but it will just have to make do with 5. I love it.
Lovely. The purity of the boy's voice is amazing. Bless music for all occasions. This is perfect for a requium. Thanks for the post.
Stunningly beautiful and humble. I feel the same awe when listening to the amazing ANDREY NEMZER singing SAINT FRANCIS PRAYER. Such humility and inspiration!
Wunderbar gesungen danke🙏❤️🌹
I prefer this interpretation to others on You Tube. Gloriously clear.
My favorite choirs, period. Thank you for sharing this!
this is one of the most cosmic sounding pieces I have heard, particularly at 6:15, those chords blow me away
incredibly beautiful
Oh God yes. We are about to audition the solo for this and I surely hope we don't get the operatic version. I had hoped to tab a child for this.
amazing music, so profound. why do you have to ruin it? you dont have to be christian to enjoy. just chill and enjoy the depth of the music. peace.
This is from far the best version..
¡Impresionante! Qué belleza! I wish one day the Masses in all entire world would be in latin in order to can listen this marvellous pieces...
I agree with you, Alissson. This teenager is flawless in this performance.
Lovely!
that was excellent
