New 'anniversary' edition (in HD and with improved audio) of Hayley Westenra 海莉 ヘイリー singing at the National Memorial Day Concert 2011 in Washington DC. Pie Jesu is from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Requiem' and this live broadcast was by PBS TV station Thirteen. Sung as part of a tribute to Richard Githens who died in the Vietnam War, in the presence of his daughter Michelle Githens-Baugh who is shown in the video. To read Michelle's moving comments about this tribute, visit the HWI website, it is at the foot of the following page: www.hayley-westenra-international.com/content/hayley-sings-pie-jesu-us-national-memorial-day-concert His story was told on stage by actor Gary Sinese and actress AJ Cook just before Hayley sang, and you can see on the above link the entire 19 minute segment which was very emotional throughout.
