The interplay between the minor and major keys is incredibly powerful. I am a foreigner in the United Kingdom but I have lived here for the last 36 years, I never thought that The Queen's funeral would affect me as it did. Sometimes we forget what true kingship looks like. It has little to do with power and everything with projecting the awe it inspires - not for the person who embodies that royalty but for the notion of kingship itself. Most monarchs are very poor examples of what true kingship looks like. Her Majesty was an exceptional monarch who had a deep understanding of the role she was destined to play. I regard it as a privilege that I merited to live in her realm when she was on the throne. May her memory be a blessing.
What wonderful words. Thank you.You obviously have a deep understanding of our Monarchy, and it's ties and meaning to the people of the UK and our Commonwealth friends. Our late Queen had a wonderful understanding and a great love for the Commonwealth, and truly gave her life to doing her 'duty' without complaints or comments. She was also held in high esteem by many other people/countries around the world. We will never see her like again. As Paddington said:- "thank you Ma'am . . . for everything"
@@mintyfrompolo To be honest, my understanding does not come from observing the British monarchy's role but from my own faith tradition. In Jewish mysticism there exists a notion of Kingship as the mirror in which the Divine Presence is reflected. This is the tenth of the emanations of light known as Malkhut [Kingship]. The ancients sources say about this: שהמלכות לית לה מגרמה כלום [Kingship has nothing of itself, i.e. is a true reflection of selflessness]. Well, if anything could have been a visceral demonstration of the problems with _elected_ leadership, the weeks following Her late Majesty's passing have shown this. Prime ministers come, fall on their sword and go but the monarch observes these shenanigans stoically and does his duty. An elected head of state will attain that position by manoeuvring and cajoling whereas the monarch is there *because it is his duty* to be there. The position is the monarchy, not the person to whom the position falls. Her Majesty was extraordinary because she devoted her own person and her entire life to her destiny - like her father had done after an unworthy prince put his own interests before the interests of his people. Superficial popularity is the wrong compass, capricious and fickle. Steadfast dedication to duty will always win out.
@@amoswittenbergsmusings Thanks for that, it's interesting. Thing is, there are Countries around the world who would prefer a Monarchy to their present political systems. Many people visit our shores to see the pomp and ceremony connected to our Royalty too. While the Monarch is legally the Head of this Country, they don't have the political powers, but they have many other powers that are for the good. It's a fact that the Royals generate more money to this Country than they cost, but there are those, who, for various reasons would like to see us as a Republic. And that is their right. But some don't realise that instead of a King or Queen, we'd have to have a President, who would cost money, but generate nothing in return. Maybe the thought of a President Trump or Macron might make them change their minds. 😂
No other country does pomp and ceremony as well as us British, all involved did amazing work at the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd. Its hard to believe we will never see her again, God Bless Your Majesty. God Save The King.
Listening to this song in the live broadcast of Her Majesty's funeral has left a deep impression on me, the melody often rings in my mind, and also allows me to watch the recent funerals of the royal family by chance, this song symbolizes not only the death of a person, but also the change of history, of course, I will never forget the England of Elizabeth II era, thank you, dear Majesty
I will remember her funeral forever...and this march. It was an event to see... Wish I could have been there.... but would have bawled my eyes out... I'm American, about 7 generations so, she was my queen too.
250kg coffin which is a hefty weight even between the eight of them. Solid oak surrounding the traditional lead casket in which kings are by tradition interred. There must have been a specific rotation of Grenadier guardsmen training under such weight in case of this moment for decades. I think the coffin was made in and has been waiting somewhere since the nineteen-eighties.
What can you say about the most gracious queen that has ever ruled England some people don't like her some people think that it wasn't necessary but when it's all said and done she is the best God Save the Queen
I first saw the Queen when I was 10 years old, my aunty took me to London the week after the Coronation and I saw the Trooping of the Colour, I have always remembered it and my visit to London, I have been back many many times, my late daughter lived there and her two daughters and my great grand children May Queen Elizabeth rest in peace.
I have played this piece several times since the funeral, it is so powerful, and brings the memory of the sound of marching feet, Big Ben chiming, the crowds.....
I am from Uruguay. We are used to hear Chopin's funeral march --I didn't know Beethoven also wrote those magnificent pieces, so well played on this occasion.
Everyone involved did a wonderful job. They showed their love and respect to a great Queen and a very special human being. They made the nation proud. God bless them all. God save the King 🙏
This nothing to do with Beethoven, it was incorrectly attributed to Beethoven by the media many years ago, but now it has been proven that it was composed by Johann Heinrich Walch (1776-1855)
The piece was published 1861 under the title "L. van Beethoven's Trauermarsch in F moll für Pianoforte zu vier Händen - eingereicht bei C.T. Brunner" "L. van Beethoven's funeral march in F minor for pianoforte by four hands - submitted by C.T. Brunner" Ludwig van Beethoven 1770 - 1827 Johann Heinrich Walch 1776 - 1855 Christian Traugott Brunner 1792-1874 Walch was coral master (until 1845) at the court where Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, consort of Queen Victoria I, grew up.
@@martinstock So Walch was not a composer?? The internet thoroughly muddies the water on this topic. It's such a masterful Beethovenic piece I'd prefer it to be his!
All 3 were composers. Actually even Prince Albert (as a hobby) too. But in the way composing was paid for at this time, only a few very famous composers could survive on this. Beethoven worked in his early years also as a pianist. A position as a musician at a princely court provided at least a somewhat stable income. If the employer was satisfied also things like an education trip of half a year or more to cities famous for contemporary music (to get ideas, contacts, and skills) were possible.
Wish we'd hear & see more of our military marching bands. They are rarely in the public domain anymore. I would love to know when & where they appear & travel for that very purpose. Does anyone know how this can be done.

The funeral march by Purcell for Queen Mary is, in my opinion, the greatest funeral march ever written. It was not used at the time it was written and may have first been performed at Purcell's own funeral some years later. The 'March and Canzona' from this is actually quite well-known, as it was adapted in electronic form for the title music of Stanley Kubrick's film of 'A Clockwork Orange', perhaps to show how a civilisation falls.
@@seansmith445 cuz these are special arrangements, which belong to the national ceremonies of the UK, these versions of the arrangements are at least a hundred years old.
This funeral march that was attributed to Ludwig Van Beethoven was actually composed by Johann Heinrich Walch who lived in the late Classical and early Romantic periods of music.
The only curious thing about the Queen's funeral, when compared to the funeral of a U.S. President, was the lack of a riderless horse. For the procession of a U.S. President, there is a riderless horse with boots inserted backwards into the stirrups.

There’s also a cheekiness in there too, in the rhythm. It so portrays our beautiful Queen xxxx

The moment the coffin came into sight on The Mall while the bands played, this is a moment I'll never forget. It was worth a 13 hour wait.
👌
Nice man
I will never forget our wonderful Queen Elizabeth. May she rest in peace.
Amen ! ❤
This piece of music sticks in my mind with Big Ben chiming every minute.
Goosebumps
Peace
And the muffled beating of the drums
Can cannon fire in back ground.

I'm a Kiwi, my Cousin's son was one of the New Zealand Soldiers marching along side the Aussies and Canadians. My Cousin is very proud of him.
I have looked and listened over and over and can’t get enough. Please honour the bearer party for a magnificent job done.

You need to get out more
@@grahamjordan1040 : why?
The soldiers did a great job, the entire Country should be proud of them. With admiration and respect from Oregon USA.
Absolutely outstanding piece of music. Brought shivers to my spine seeing them all march with the burden of her majesty on the gun carrage. Rip liz
So beautifully played. Wonderful!
How fitting. This is the music played on Remembrance Sunday, an occasion Her Majesty hardly ever missed.
God bless you, Queen Elizabeth! You truly were one of the good and kind people of the world. Nobody so ever forget you.

Disappointing they never commissioned a Brit to write one for her years ago. Britain has some great composers.

Please post Funeral March #3 as well. I can't find a decent version here. They played it for the Queen. Thank you.
J'adore Beethoven. J'ignorais qu'il avait écrit une marche funèbre.
Il avait écrit une, mais pas celle-là! Cette marche avait été composé par Johann Heinrich Walch (malheureusement attribué à Beethoven par erreur).
God save the queen we knew it was going to happen but th e funny thing is i was at dancing when she passed.
What were the other funeral marches played at the procession?
Mendelssohn and Chopin, and Panne.
@@viviencrooks1824 Thanks, I couldn't find it anywhere.
@@seansmith445 cuz these are special arrangements, which belong to the national ceremonies of the UK, these versions of the arrangements are at least a hundred years old.
is that the funeral march from symphony no 3 by beethoven second movement
This funeral march that was attributed to Ludwig Van Beethoven was actually composed by Johann Heinrich Walch who lived in the late Classical and early Romantic periods of music.
Te author is Walch. Nobody knows the style and features of Beethoven's music?
Why is it called ‘Beethoven’s’? Beethoven did not compose this.
