Just spent a whole afternoon listening to every version of this, for about the 10th time. This is my favourite. Always remember that in *Saul* it depicted the awfulness of mass death in war, not one person's funeral march.
play iy nightly just in case I don't wake up next day & have requested it to be streamed at my funeral: -have to remember to be quick to turn off the applause tho
De Duitse Bundeswehr speelt deze Trauermarsch bij de uitvaart van hoogstaande personen uit de Duitse politiek, zoals bij de uitvaart van Helmut Kohl. Zeer indrukwekkend.
Sie dürfen sich gerne auch das gesamte Oratorium aus dem Theater an der Wien mit Florian boesch in der Titelrolle auf CZcams anschauen. Ich sage nur ein einziges Wort: Gänsehaut
If this music created by human ingenuity and intelligence is profoundly exhilarating how much more must be the profound must be the quality of music we will experience in heaven in the presence of God?
Just listened to this performance after listening to Stokowski's lush Late Romantic orchestration in order to compare that with what Handel himself wrote. Stokowski gilded the lily here. Handel stands on his own magnificently.
Stokowski over gilded the lily and really detracted from the beauty of this great piece. Handel's great piece stands much better on its own so performances that stay truer to his vision are always better.
Played at the May 1910 funeral of King Edward VII. Lord Esher wrote in his diary afterward "There never was such a break-up. All the old buoys which have marked the channels of our lives see to have been swept away."
He was born in Halle (Germany) - that's where this was live recorded - and was 25 years old, when he visited London for the first time and stayed there für one year. Finally when he was 27 Händel settled in London for the rest of his life. He became a British citizen when he was 42 years old in 1727.
Especially when you consider the early musical environment of his day, all sewing-machine rhythm and no melody. His 'O had I Jubal's Lyre' is tuneful perfection.
@@jennieeagle1257 I think Roger Propes is referring to the 'sewing-machine" rhythmic quality of so much of Bach's musical writing , the Brandenburg Concertos in particular , into which we were initiated as teenagers Bach was into the bones of music... the harmonies and inner lines Handel was into the beauty of music
That is an awful version to be honest. Wasn't Stokowski's best moment by far. He over orchestrated the piece and made it slow, dull and boring. This performance is much, much more appropriate for this great piece by Handel
Yep 👍 her funeral at Westminster Abby will be the first of a reigning monarch since George II. Every other funeral from George III to George VI as taken place at St George’s chapel Windsor.
My brother was in South African special forces. When he was kia, the military bands played this at his funeral while they slow marched to his grave. It was terrible, a beautiful pics of music, but absolutely terrible.
Obviously your use of the word 'terrible" has positive connotations; unlike most uses of this word. But I fully understand you and may your brother Rest in Peace!
@@sauleaseviciute5668 Ikr, but it's a good story nonetheless. Other composers that had actually met: Beethoven & Mozart, Rossini & Wagner, Mahler & R.Strauss.
What a WONDERFUL comment, Pauline. It would be plagiaristic of me to imitate you, so I refrain out of respect. I would add, if I may, that what grabs me is the appropriately sour tone of the trombones/sackbuts. No one else gets even close. As for the flutes, appropriately, again, mournful, are there really 4 flute parts in the original, or has Arman doubled them? In the circumstances, perfectly legitimate.
Fuer uns alle kommt der Tag die Stunde des Abschieds, so last uns leben wie es Gott will. Vielleicht kann bei meinem Begraebnis am Ausgang der Kirche gespielt warden, wenn auch nur per Cassette.
Ich finde, es ist eine ergreifende Interpretation dieser wunderbaren Musik. Wenn ich richtig vermute, ist hier der Dirigent Paul Goodwin mit dem Kammerorchester Basel. Leider habe ich bisher keine Aufnahme dieses wunderbaren Konzertes bekommen können.

I have done the same Azure. I just love this piece and just about any version drives me to tears.
so wunderschön, ich empfinde trauer und hoffnung bei diesem lied..
zur zeit höre ich es täglich..
Beautifully played, with great solemnity. Brass, strings and woodwinds all in perfect harmony. Most moving performance...
What a fantastic performed piece of music. The best I have heard. Excellent and beautiful.
play iy nightly just in case I don't wake up next day & have requested it to be streamed at my funeral: -have to remember to be quick to turn off the applause tho
Die beste Interpretation, die ich kenne. Wundervoll.
Many thanks for sharing this with us. I think Haendel would be proud on the performance of this orchestra !!! Just great !!!!

Eine Interpretation, die mich sehr berührt hat. Schön dass dieses große Werk wieder in so einem beeindruckenden Rahmen dargeboten werden kann!
die am begräbnis von helmut schmidt war auch sehr bewegend

It's wonderful feeling is so much

wonderful and deeply moving interpretation of Handels music....
the music is sooo beautiful I really enjoyed it. Thank you for this lovely oratorio. Good Job everyone well played, well done.
Bitte ich wolte das bei meine beerdigung.
If this music created by human ingenuity and intelligence is profoundly exhilarating how much more must be the profound must be the quality of music we will experience in heaven in the presence of God?
Pretty to think so, eh?
Astounding and deeply moving all at once. Truly sublime.
Sehr schöne Musik, perfekt dargeboten.
Brings tears to my eyes!
Tears run my eyes when performing this..
besser kann man dieses Stück nicht wiedergeben! Wunderschön!
Mooiste uitvoering ooit!

thank you for this wonderful piece of the oratory Saul, it´s played excellent.
Beautifully played
Einfach nur wunderschön!
immer wieder gut für eine Gänsehaut

Also played in February 1953 funeral of King George VI.
one of the greatest German Composer next to Bach and Beethoven
German???
@@jeromek2125 Yes he was born and bred in Germany
@@RodCorkin Yes, but he became a Naturalised British Subject in 1727.

I do liked this piece that I always said it must be played on my funeral. But I will scared the mourners to just sit up for a while to listen
I shall never forget when Paa-Fio played this piece on the organ in Apirede Presbyterian Church for Dad when he died. Paa-Frederick Mancka.
ordered to be streamed at my funeral!
Solenne, splendido, degno di altri uomini e di altri tempi.
Luca Bidoli Che fine hanno fatto quei tempi? Intorno a me vedo solo mediocrità, niente che valga la pena, in nessun campo 😢
Beautiful & Powerful!!!
Congratulations! Very exquisite! The trombones, usually associated with the supernatural world are wellcome!
in Tongan tradition, we play this song when we carry the casket to its final resting place.
Your choice of music is excellent!
@@staugalot I want this played at mine
Belíssima execução!
I should have had this played at my wedding
:-)
hahaha. I also
A funeral march on your wedding xD
@@justinf.3293 thats why i was laughing. wedding- the end of life
222mozart Lmao
A thrilling performance of this beloved classic at a time in Pavarotti's long career when he had everything working for him vocally.
No doubt about it. Handel always knocked out a good tune.
Especially when you consider the early musical environment of his day, all sewing-machine rhythm and no melody. His 'O had I Jubal's Lyre' is tuneful perfection.
Roger Propes Sewing-machine rhythm is what makes Händel's music so cool!
@@jennieeagle1257

Bach was into the bones of music... the harmonies and inner lines
Handel was into the beauty of music
@@clivecowlard7098 It's a shame that these two - Bach and Handel - never got to know each other personally!
Schitterende uitvoering en opname. Bedankt!
Deze mars is een van de mooiste marsen die ik ken.
Zum heulen schön!
“All the old buoys which have marked the channel of our lives seem to have been swept away”
I love this song...
Beautiful!
It would be nice if the orchestra was identified. I do not understand why people post music here without identifying the performers.
Nein
The English Concert from Marktkirche Halle.Orchestra: Hallenser Madrigalisten Orchester.Conductor: Howard Arman.
Thank you!
Fabulous-makes the hairs on back your neck rise and tears at your guts!
Sehr schöne Interpretation 😚
The English Concert - Händelfestspielorchester Halle - MDR Rundfunkchor - Hallenser Madrigalisten - Händelfestspielchor -
Chor der Oper Halle - HOWARD ARMAN - conductor
Bellísimo!!!
Beautifull
This is more than a good tune. It is music fit for purpose
sehr sehr gut !
Played during General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's funeral march
And many times during Abraham Lincoln's funeral rail trip to Springfield.
Brilliant
how can anyone give a thumbs down???
Btw, if you think this is too slow, try the Stokowsky version....
That is an awful version to be honest. Wasn't Stokowski's best moment by far. He over orchestrated the piece and made it slow, dull and boring. This performance is much, much more appropriate for this great piece by Handel
I'm listening to this so as to more fully appreciate "Our Mutual Friend" by Charles Dickens.
+Scott Turner
Quite a peculiar way of Handel's appreciation!
哦，最優秀的天使，謝謝你的慷慨。 我祝福你現在和永遠。 願你一生都知道極大的幸福和幸福。
Simplesmente fantastico
Fantastic
EXCELLENT!! INDEED!!THANKS!FROM(U.K.)
top !!!!
Wonderskoon!
Remarquable interprétation
Rebel Tuba,
Too slow?? It's a funeral march! One doesn't hurry in a funeral...
I was just thinking it was too fast! I love it taken very slowly.
Specially your own.
I'm a very busy man.
Exceptional
Anyone here after queen Elizabeth’s death it might be played at her state funeral
Yep 👍 her funeral at Westminster Abby will be the first of a reigning monarch since George II. Every other funeral from George III to George VI as taken place at St George’s chapel Windsor.

Fantastisch
Un thème très connu bien interprété
This was played by a military band at the funeral of a young soldier I knew
Wunderschön Edda Lemmer
This is a Beautiful Piece of music,I can not hear it Often enough...Any Way to get this Recording?
+Ingrid Pocernich try to get a clip of helmut schmidt´s funeral, on nov. 23rd. there they played it with military music-cprps. get a handkerchief...
this song is on my last playlist.....!
Nice to hear!
thanks
es ist alles so traurig
+marianne futterschneider Das kann man wohl sagen!!
Even Bach was a big fan of Handel and walked 10 miles to see a Handel opera.
I don't think that's true, they haven't met in their lives
@@sauleaseviciute5668 I didn't say they met. When he finally arrived the performance was cancelled so he had to walk back :(
Oh yeah, might be true, but my music history teacher was very sceptic about this story :D
@@sauleaseviciute5668 Ikr, but it's a good story nonetheless. Other composers that had actually met: Beethoven & Mozart, Rossini & Wagner, Mahler & R.Strauss.
Haendel and Bach had the same age, almost a month apart.
Came here cause a cop whistled this in a random detective story by J.H. Chase I was reading.
Simply beautiful - for lack of a more apt description. Who is the conductor?
It's Howard Arman.
Thank you!
waar gespeeld? Leeuwarden?
Nee, niet in Leeuwarden. Wel in de Marktkirche in Halle
Wow! Ek hou baie daarvan
Höre dazu Beethovens Weihe des Hauses, eine Referenz an Händel.
Today it is played at Helmut Kohl's funeral
Yes, I saw
Did they also applaud in the end, like here in this video?
Period Instruments are wonderful but I don't think that is Christopher Hogwood?
I believe those are actually sackbuts.
Herzzerreißend
applauding at the end of this piece is highly inapppropriate, imo.
Those trombones are MADDDD
what are the instruments at 1:30 please?
fluit
😔

Is this what McNamara'S Band plays when they "play to funerals"?
Yes, indeed it is.
This music was also played at the funeral parade of Colonel Anthony Durnford, hero of Isandlwana
Schitterend!!!
play Händels funeral march for the queen too. Her family is also little german
I'll tell it King Charles.😄
@@fryslan1944 ithink this funeral march ist the best ever
@@dersven8373 I agree.
Name of tune?
Funeral march !
Played at the execution of many pirates Under the Black Flag by David Cordingly
Het blijft een schitterend stuk muziek
Lieflik!!
This song should had been played in a wedding or something but all this sad thing about hedels death is all about him
Handel #dotd in 1759 ⚰️
It's usually played at British State funerals but it wasn't played at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth ll.
It was played in the state funeral of her father King George VI, but you're quite right, not heard in the Her Majesty's funeral.
It should've been played. Our final goodbye to a Great Queen and Majesty
Ich finde, es ist eine ergreifende Interpretation dieser wunderbaren Musik.
Wenn ich richtig vermute, ist hier der Dirigent Paul Goodwin mit dem Kammerorchester Basel.
Leider habe ich bisher keine Aufnahme dieses wunderbaren Konzertes bekommen können.
