Ok, so I'm pretty sure Webber's Requiem and "Pie Jesu" was more of a hit than you make it seem in the article. The work is obviously not that weak if it won the 1986 Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition. Also, I think "Pie Jesu" was more than a "minor hit," especially if it is still being performed and recorded by people today, and it is still a popular classical song in the music world. It's more than minor and it's far from weak. I'm a music major, so I know a little about music. Just something to consider. :)

Need to standardize the italics in this article

Need to figure out how to standardize the italics in this article -- all of the Latin? All of the elements of the Mass? Or neither? Need to choose one and then standardize. Softlavender (talk) 03:12, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Music for the Requiem Mass and Requiem use neither, so I vote that style. Softlavender (talk) 03:14, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Music video

It is not correct that the music video "was originally performed by Sarah Brightman, who used it in a music video (set in World War II during the London Blitz)." It was performed by Sarah Brightman AND Miles, and the setting was not the Blitz. The firemen are using thermal imagers, and the vehicles are modern. My recollection from 1985 is that the setting was actually inspired by recent IRA bombings.Royalcourtier (talk) 02:18, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've edited that. The sentence has no citations at all anyway, and it really needs one. It doesn't even give the date of the music video. Softlavender (talk) 03:04, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE: I've further edited the mention, adding the date, and Miles-Kingston's name. BTW, here is that original music video: [1]. Can't use it as a citation though because it's copyrighted and not uploaded by the copyright holder. Softlavender (talk) 03:48, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
