This requiem mass was written in 1984 to commemorate the composer's father who died in 1982.  Better known for his popular musicals, this is Lloyd Webber's first excursion into serious classical music supported by such names as Sarah Brightman, Placido Domingo and Lorin Maazel.  Requiem, written for three soloists, chorus and large orchestra, combines both popular melody and sophisticated classical constructions as one might expect in what is clearly a highly personal piece of music. It won the 1986 Grammy Award for "Best Classical Contemporary Composition" and Pie Jesu became a hit when recorded separately by Lloyd Webber's then wife, Sarah Brightman and also by Sissel Kyrkjebø and Charlotte Church.
