Funeral march
Videos
A funeral march, as a musical genre, is a march, usually in a minor key, in a slow "simple duple" metre, imitating the solemn pace of a funeral procession. Some such marches are often considered appropriate for use during funerals and other sombre occasions, the best-known example being the third movement of Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2. Handel uses the name dead march, also used for marches played by a military band at military funerals.
Lully codified the military march form and used a funeral march in an opera or tragédie lyrique.
Purcell composed one of the oldest known examples of a funeral march composed specifically for the funeral of a powerful person.
