Your own Funeral

[dana_minmin]

I have a crazy thought about funerals.

As everyone can't attend his own funeral alive (of course!), I think it'd be special to make a recording of the deceased playing a few piano pieces, funeral marches maybe, and play it during his funeral.

For wedding, you can play it live, but not for funerals. My thought's crazy right?

That would be clever. 

My thought's crazy right? 

Oh yes.

At Glenn Gould's funeral they played a recording of him playing the Air from the Goldberg Variations.

I like the funeral march from Beethoven Sonata #12 in A flat major.

oh yeah a funny rag  Well I am a person who will be late even for his own funeral so I guess I will just miss it. Therefore I don't care what they play. I will be off for the next gig

Really? I think that'd be really weird.

Which version did they play? He rerecorded it before he died, didn't he?

No, after, actually.

[dana_minmin]

No, after, actually.

I think the scene would be very memorable.

I agree Wolfi.

I expect they will sing "Happy Days are Here Again" at my funeral. 

But I do not care, as I will not be there to hear it.   

[dana_minmin]

Hey Shortshort, you will be there for sure, at your funeral.

You may hear what they play, or you may not. You don't know yet.   


What pieces would you like to be played at your funeral? All sad pieces? All happy pieces? or a mixture of both?

[pita bread]

I want Wagner's Siegfried's Funeral March from Gotterdammerung played at my funeral.

[bacchuspaul]

I'd want at least one person to sing "you were the wind beneath my wings," as a joke, to see what sort of response it provokes.

or there'd be a new genre of music created by the undead.

*woman in crowd screams*: "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS CRIME AGAINST NATURE!!...oh yeah, and the deceased has also riven from the grave...pretty shocking too.``
