Oremus (Tárrega)
' (Latin for "Let us pray") is a short guitar piece in D minor. Although it is usually presented as an original work by Spanish guitar composer Francisco Tárrega, it is actually a transcription of the second section of Robert Schumann's ''Phantasietanz'', Op. 124, no. 5. It is often preceded by another piece by Tárrega, ''Endecha'', and the two usually appear together as "Endecha – Oremus".
