Felix Mendelssohn - Funeral March

This paired with the marching drums and the minute gun and muffled ring from Big Ben during the Queen's final journey out of London was fantastic and moving to listen to. (as has been pointed out the state funeral version was mendelshons funeral march op 62.3)

[@huyiii2435]

This wasnt played at the queens funeral

[@twitter2595]

the Mendelssohn is quite similar to Grieg's Funeral March in Memory of Rikard Nordraak which was played during the Queen's state funeral. There was no life music during the final journey our of London as the coffin was transported in the state hearse.

[@Mehuge]

@@twitter2595 the journey up to the Wellington Arch is still part of the "final journey out of London", and Mendelssohn was played during that part of the procession. Seems it was a different but similar Mendelssohn piece though.

We stood along the beach and wept for our friend, to the sky's of God his ashes we commend, that his soul will be where it belonged and the waves will greet his once noble stand, and carry out to sea away from this land, and his memory will never fade his heart was filled with good, in whispers his voice had said, take me to this beach when my time has come and weep not my loyal friends.

[@huyiii2435]

This funeral march was never played at the queens funeral

[@Bill_Oddie_Face_Mask]

Those of you coming here from the Queen’s funeral procession, you’ve got the wrong Mendelssohn march. You’re looking for Op. 62 No. 3 (from Songs without Words), which was originally composed for unaccompanied piano. It is the more common of the two, though IMO not as powerful as the one in this video. This march, Op. 103, was specifically written for a military band.

[@huyiii2435]

This funeral march op 103 was written by mendelshon 1836 dedicated to his friend norburt burgmuller which was played at his funeral. Ive never heard this 103 march played in no funeral procession

[@NorsePJ]

This is what should be played at many weddings instead of the usual Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March'. LOL!

@@victorias8151 THANK YOU! From the first notes of hearing it I was desperate to find it, and all googling only ever led me to Beethoven, and there is one passage that is 1:1 the same as a passage in Walch's, so I assumed it was a vriation of Beethoven's, as was written everywhere, and sounded different because of brass instrument instead of full orchestra, slower tempo etc. But now I have found it, thanks to you =)

why they burned his body??

[@AnzorBatono]

His ship was caught in a storm and he drowned. The body was washed ashore a few days later. It happened in the Ligurian Sea on July 8, 1822 off the coast of La Spezia. At the beginning of the 19th century, Rome could only be reached from there by horse, which is 430 km. in the hot sun road. Therefore, they decided to burn the corpse and the ashes were delivered to Rome for burial.
