More samples of musical selections suitable for funerals and memorial services, of which this is my favorite:
• Ashokan Farewell (this beautiful song performed by Jay Ungar And Molly Mason With Fiddle Fever is from the album Songs Of The Civil War
• Amazing Grace (choices range from bagpipe music, The King's Own Scottish Borderers Military Band) to a more lyrical version sung by Sarah Brightman
• America the Beautiful (U.S. Marine Band)
• The Battle Hymn Of The Republic (U.S. Army Chorus)
• Dixie's land (The United States Military Academy Band) and Dixie, as a Civil War Fife And Drum March
• El Capitan (John Philip Sousa’s rousing march, played by the U.S. Marine Band)
• Eternal Father, Strong to Save (U.S. Navy Hymn, sung by US Navy and Sea Chanters Chorus). Hear also the instrumental version played by the United States Navy Band.
• It's A Long Way to Tipperary (The Band of The Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall)
• Reveille (bugle)
• The Stars and Stripes Forever (another popular John Philip Sousa march, played by the U.S. Marine Band)
• Taps, popular for military funerals, played here with echo (U.S. Marine Band, part of the music cut off on sample)
• Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines (RAF Halton Area Band)
• Waltzing Matilda (Outback)
• Wild Blue Yonder (The US Air Force Song) (United States Air Force Academy Band)
• William Tell Overture (National Philharmonic Orchestra, as often played on July 4, Independence Day in the U.S.A.)
• You're a Grand Old Flag
And of course any emotionally suggestive music from whatever country, state, or region a person is from--Red River Valley, for example, for someone from the Midwest who used to feel nostalgic when he heard that tune. Another good example: Aloha 'Oe (The Brothers Cazimero, Hawaiian)
