Tune of the Day: Pie Jesu

This is the beautiful soprano solo from Fauré's Requiem, Op. 48. The seven movements of the French composer's setting of the Mass for the Dead form an arch whose keystone and crown is this central fourth movement, whose title means “Merciful Jesus”. Camille Saint-Saëns said of it, “just as Mozart's is the only Ave verum corpus, this is the only Pie Jesu.”

Tune of the Day: Le Petit Maître

This is the sixth duet in E minor from the 55 Easy Pieces by Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. The French title “Le Petit Maître” might be translated as “The Little Master”.

Tune of the Day: Os pintinhos no terreiro

“Os pintinhos no terreiro" (which translates as “The Chicks in the Yard”) is a famous Brazilian choro composed by Zequinha de Abreu in 1932. Much like his world-famous “Tico-Tico no Fubá”, this piece features a fast, “hopping” melody that mimics the quick movements of little chicks scratching around a farmyard.
