For Dominic

Click on the arrow to hear Pie Jesu from Andrew Lloyd Webber's Requiem. Make sure your sound is on.

This is a Latin prayer for the dead. The words mean, "Loving Jesus, who takes away the sins of the world, grant them rest. Grant them eternal rest."

It is sung by opera star Carla Maffioletti and Akim Camara, a five-year-old musical prodigy from Nigeria. He is really a violinist rather than a singer, but I thought this makes a touching tribute to post for an African Carmelite who died before his time.
