Your funeral music
Discussion
After the recent retirement thread the natural next event is your funeral. Not bothered about the service but music choices do interest me . Dad was a forces musician most of his working life and a teacher of brass instruments in his retirement and a life long involvement in brass bands , along with working with a multitude of stars over the years ,including recording with The Stranglers playing bass guitar . I had been exposed to all genres of music so my tastes a very varied.
My list of choice .
Nimrod played by the Central Band of the Royal Air Force
Funeral for a Friend. Elton John
Avè Maria sung by Kimmi Skotta and the Andre Rieu orchestra.
Evening Hymn played again by the Central Band of the RAF .
I request the RAF versions for two reasons ,they a very good versions and my father is playing on the recordings . It's a bit of a proud moment for our family whenever a recording that my father is on is played on the various media platforms.
So over to you lot , what's your choices ?
