The State Funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II

21. April. 1926- 8.Sep.2022

The State Funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II 19.Sep.2022

BST 11:00 시작한 Music Service는

장엄한 Organ Music과 함께 Coffin 은 이동되고 있다. 관을 조용히 따라가는 Royal Family와 영국의 많은 곳에서 BBC와 CNN은 물론 Commonwealth의 여러 국가들에서 70년을 여왕으로 지낸 Queen Elizabeth II의 길을 따라가고 있다.

10시간 넘게 줄을 서기도 했을 테고, 세상에서 가장 많은 조문객들을 맞이하지 않았을까, BBC를 보고 있는 나 또한 영국에서 지낸 세월 탓일까? 그 감회가 남다르게 다가오는 것을, British History 역사상 가장 긴 통치기간으로 영국 역사를 고스란히 말해 주고 있다. 70년 재위 기간 동안 미국의 대통령은 14명, 영국의 총리는 W.Churchill부터~최근 Liz Truss 15명을 만났다 하는데 그 어떤 음악보다도 Westminster Abbey 바깥에서도 들리는 Organ Music은 여왕이 결혼했을 때도, 장례에도 들려지고 있었고, 백파이프와 Brass 연주, Procession을 따라가는 모든 행렬의 Wellington Arch까지 그 길이 눈에 선하다. 10일 동안 치러진 국장(國葬) 이렇게 끝나고 있다. 음악과 함께

The piece, credited on television as the ‘Beethoven Funeral March No. 1’, was an abiding, stately work, played with poise by the military orchestra.

It was played once more in September 2022, alongside Beethoven’s Funeral March No. 2 and No. 3, and Chopin and Mendelssohn’s funeral marches, as the coffin of the late Queen Elizabeth II was carried in a ceremonial procession from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall.

The Westminster Abbey Sub-Organist, Peter Holder, will then play the following works by Edward Elgar before the Procession of Religious Representatives moves to their places in the Nave and the Sacrarium for the funeral.

Andante espressivo (Sonata in G Op.28)

Sospiri Op.70

At the end of the service, Holder will perform Fantasia in C minor BWV 562 by Johann Sebastian Bach as the coffin and procession leave the Abbey.

Johann Sebastian Bach is the composer most played during Queen Elizabeth's moving funeral today. This is the list of Bach's music for the service in Westminster Abbey and the Queen's blessing at Windsor Castle:

Fantasy in C minor, BWV 562

Adorn Yourself, O Dear Soul, BWV 654

Sheep May Safely Graze, BWV 208

Prelude and Fugue in C minor, BWV 546

May his heavenly sounds accompany Queen Elizabeth II. to heaven.

During the committal service for Queen Elizabeth II, the Choir of St George’s Chapel will be conducted by James Vivian, Director of Music and the organ will be played by Luke Bond, Assistant Director of Music.

Some of the music in the Committal Service was composed by Sir William Henry Harris, who was the Organist of St George’s Chapel between 1933 and 1961 and is believed to have taught the then Princess Elizabeth the piano as a child.

At the end of the service, Bond will play Johann Sebastian Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in C minor BWV 562, which was also performed at the end of Her Majesty’s funeral earlier in the day.
