A military band version of this funeral march from Mendelssohn's 'Songs without Words' was played during the procession carrying the Queen's coffin from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. The original (for piano) can be listened to here: th-cam.com/video/ww7oUh-vbQ0/w-d-xo.html
Of all the funeral marches played at the Queen's funeral this is the one which grabbed me. I had never heard it before. I am something of a fan of Mendelssohn who, for some decades, has been comparatively unfashionable except maybe for his famous violin concerto.
@@brianbrotherston5940 You are absolutely right. I have sung Lobgesang (The Hymn of Praise), Elijah and Paulus (St Paul), all great and thrilling works: the Hebrides Overture, "A Midsummer Night's Dream", the Scottish, Italian and Reformation symphonies too.
It’s arresting. Seeing all those soldiers marching and the sailors pulling the gun carriage with the Queen’s coffin to this piece was incredibly moving. I live in Chicago and woke up at 4am to watch the state funeral as it happened. US state funerals can be moving, but the Queen’s was unmatched.
@@peace-now yes but it was the very first time for me (and many others I believe) to listen to this piece because of the Queen's funeral, and this is the logic.
@@LGranthamsHeir The most extraordinary event I have ever seen on live TV , and I saw all Diana's funeral although I don't live in the UK . This was soo profound , chilling , riveting and emotional, I'm glad I actually got the actual live broadcast and even better I watched on a channel that simply let the event do the talking without any commentary. RIP. QE ❤️
After hearing this at the Queen's funeral, I came here. I have to say I miss the beat of the drum that accompanied the marchers. It adds another level of solemnity.....
@@LGranthamsHeir Well not really, if I die rich, maybe I can write through a will for a marching band to play this as they march my body to the cemetery
Expect to hear this funeral march (among others) during HM The Queen's funeral procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall tomorrow (Sept 14th). and from Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey on Monday, Sept 19th.
Maravillosa música. Ver a los Royals, a los soldados desfilar junto a los restos de Elizabeth II, a su pueblo despidiéndola al son de ésta música me conmocionó. No pude guardar las lágrimas.
Meravigliosa! Giovanni, martedì 12-1-2021, un altro regalo per me ! Oggi alle ore 16 dopo 24 giorni di cure esco, accompagnato da mia moglie, dall'Ospedale Regionale Territoriale di Vittorio Veneto ' consacrato interamente ' al corona virus. Sia benedetto il Nome del Signore! Il pensiero vada alla terra lontana d' Uganda dove la prima vittoria ha indebolito il 'nemico invisibile' permettendo la sua completa disfatta qua in terra d'Italia. W l'ltalia, W l'Africa!
Like many elegiac pieces, it is heard at its most majestic when played by the Bands of the Household Division. It has been used in all State funerals in England.
@@dirkschneiderheinze It's towards the beginning of the film, as part of the 'newsreel' that recounts his life and, in this case, his death and funeral.
Is this the Ignaz Moscheles orchestration? As a friend of Mendelssohn, Moscheles orchestrated the Trauermarsch which was then played at Mendelssohn'a funeral in 1847.
I'm unaware of an orchestration my Moscheles. In any case it was probably the other funeral march (op. 103) that was played at Mendelssohn's funeral. This orchestration is by myself, using the general style of the period. The score/vid version is here: th-cam.com/video/z4OVs85YJ84/w-d-xo.html
An excellent recording and Sir William Orpen picture Zonnebeke (Tate Britain), but unfortunately.... No crediting the recording, the orchestra or conductor..... A very common problem on TH-cam.
Yes agree a common problem which annoys me as well as a musician! But in this case I produced this recording myself using synthetic means, using playback software and 'conducted' it by adjusting dynamics etc. It is also my original orchestration of the piano piece by Mendelssohn. I hope you enjoyed it 🙂
The opening of Mahler's 5th sounds so much like this. The striking opening theme is identical. Is it an original melodic idea originating with Mendelssohn or was there a common source which they both copied? Mendelssohn seemed to have a knack for marches: the famous Wedding March from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and the much less well known "War March of the Priests" from 'Athalie'.
Stunning similarity to Mahler's 5th, thanks for pointing that out! A motif of death and conflict, most prominently used in Beethoven's Symphony No 5, I guess ..
Here is something thats bothering me for a while now, maybe anyone knows. During funerals this is played queen, maggie thatcher etc. Why dont they play the whole march to the end? Instead it always ends around the 2.07 mark. You never hear past the 207 mark to the end in funerals.

Her Majesty the Queen brought me here. Rest in peace. God save the King
Every time from now on, I will always connect this piece with Queen’s funeral and the incredible sight of marching soldiers.
Why is that? Mendelssohn did not write this piece for this funeral. I don't understand your logic. It is not even an English piece.

So moving! It so much set the mood for HM QE2 funeral-so sad yet grand!
This and the Bach organ prelude BWV 546 which concluded the Windsor service. Both project grandeur.
Funeral music still sitting with me. Beautifully haunting !
...the music fitted the event, mesmerising, haunting, spectacular. A perfect send off for a perfect monarch.
This has got to be the best funeral march I've ever heard.. its just spine tingling in every way x
Too beautiful for words

@@jimbanda I agree, but I can't figure out why. Is it because QEII was such a profound person?

Why The Fuck Do You Write Like This? Annoying af to read that
A piece of music fit for a Queen
I'd love to have this played in my funeral as my coffin is carried into the venue.
I think you need to be a monarch or at least a head of state before you are entitled to such an honour 😉
You would need a very long street xx

Thank you, you have lent me your strength
Impresionante!
Not bad for a electronic interpretation. Had me fooled for all of about 15 seconds.
Now we know where Mahler got the inspiration for the opening of his 5th symphony...
I was just wondering about that today. You confirm my suspicion.😉
I thought of Mahler the first time I heard this music during the Queen's funeral.
I think this piece by is actually inspired by Chopins first piano concerto. Very similar melody and predates this
Wspaniałe!!!
Rest in peace HM
HM Queen Elizabeth Funeral brought me here🥺

Prince Philip’s March was by Johann Walch.
This will always remind me of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral procession.

I think you’re right having looked up the soundtrack for it. I’ve never heard it before so would be interesting to compare the orchestration.

Attributed to Johann Heinrich Walch. Previously thought to be by Beethoven.

Perhaps because they usually use the marching band arrangements, and the coda doesn't lend itself that well to this ensemble?
