James,

My first impulse on seeing the "Pie Jesu" inquiry was also that it
was the Faure version until I double-checked and found it to be the Weber
(Webber?). But, since you mentioned the one from the Faure Requiem, I can
tell you that an arrangement for clarinet and piano by Sidney Lawton of that
particular one is published by Oxford University Press under the title
"Two Faure Pieces." (The other piece is his "Sicilienne," Op. 78.)

I'm looking forward to taking a crack at your composition, "Six
Inventions for Oboe, Clarinet, and Bassoon," this summer at a workshop.

Best regards,

Connie
