The State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey
TEXT
I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. (John 11: 25-26)
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: and though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. (Job 19: 25-27)
We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. (1 Timothy 6: 7; Job 1: 21)

This is the song I’ve been looking for from the queens funeral. Lofty. Hallowed. Resplendent.
what excellent music, performed by a wonderful choir!
The minute this started yesterday I was off. The beauty and clarity of this wonderful music is beyond touching
Same here. I cried quite heavily. So beautiful and the words are from one of my fav passages of scriptures. So touching

So did I but I cried more as my 2009 Woody comforts me when we were getting ready to watch the funeral live. Even Mummy, Princess of Wales was very concerned about how I would take all this in and it ended horribly with a huge breakdown. That’s when I knew the Queen was gone
You read my mind 🙏
Beautiful music.
I don't think I'm the only one to say this but I am so proud of their boys for doing that at They were just new in the army To be given that great responsibility must have been nerve racking for them but they did their Queen proud And I hope they will get honours
Sehr berührend. Es wird unvergessen bleiben.
William Croft started his musical career as a choirboy in the Chapel Royal choir. By 1707 he was the director, and wrote this music along with "I heard a voice from heaven" for the funeral of Queen Anne. He also reused the Purcell piece "Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts", and all three have been performed at funerals of British monarchs ever since, including here. Just in case some don't know, the Chapel Royal boys are wearing the fancy red uniforms. Croft was still a member of the Chapel Royal choir when the Purcell piece was sung at the funeral of Queen Mary II in 1695.
And this will be played at my funeral because Woody.EXE wanted a huge send off for me his Queen when I almost died in February this year. My funeral was going to be televised throughout Wales an all because that was my request
Seeing the Queen's coffin passing down the Abbey and the music gave me goosebumps. Just extraordinary.
My brother was one of the pallbearers! He’s at 1:52 at the end. He is immensely grateful and proud to have been part of Her Majesty’s funeral!
He should be! They were perfect. Much respect.
@@user-ol1ib1ss2b They all did an amazing job. Proud to be British.
Your brother and his mates did an excellent job. God bless them
Respect to all the pallbearers. They have done a great service for Her Majesty. You should be very proud. God Save The King. 🇬🇧
My deepest and biggest respect to your Brother and all pallbearers...God bless each one of them! With love from Berlin - Germany!
What a soul stirring piece of music. Means more if Christ's words are part of how you try to live your life.
The music is so beautiful. From 1:56-02:08 you can see the coronation chair illuminated in the background. This is so moving.
Oh my lord thats so moving 💗
See that cross when the music begins! Blessed be.
Exquisite.
Nobody can do this as good as the British. A very historic moment indeed. 😢🙏🏻
Specifically English, not British. This service is conducted strictly to the burial rites of the Church of England, of which Her Late Majesty was Head and Supreme Governor. The Churches in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are different, and where the Sovereign of the United Kingdom has no say in religious matters whatsoever.
Yes me same I was welled up beautiful stunning 🎶
I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord :
he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shalt stand
at the latter day upon the earth.
And though after my skin worms destroy this body,
yet in my flesh shall I see God:
whom I shall see for myself,
and mine eyes shall behold, and not another.
We brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away;
blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live,
and is full of misery.
He cometh up, and is cut down, like a flower;
he fleeth as it were a shadow, and never continueth in one stay.
In the midst of life we are in death:
of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord,
who for our sins art justly displeased?
Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty,
O holy and most merciful Saviour,
deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.
I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me,
Write,
From henceforth blessed are the dead which die in the Lord:
even so saith the Spirit:
for they rest from their labours.
Amen.
Great going, tall Paul. You kept the pace well.
William Croft, né dans le manoir de Nether Ettington dans le Warwickshire, reçoit son instruction à la Chapel Royal sous la direction de John Blow et y reste jusqu'en 1698.
En 1700, il devient organiste de l'église Sainte Anne de Soho. En 1707, il reprend le poste, devenu vacant par la mort de Jeremiah Clarke, de Maître des enfants de la Chapelle royale (où l'un de ses élèves fut le futur compositeur Maurice Greene). L'année suivante, il succède à John Blow comme organiste de l'abbaye de Westminster.
Il compose, en 1714, la musique jouée pour les funérailles de la reine Ann et, en 1715, celle du couronnement du roi George Ier.
En 1724, Croft publie le recueil Musica Sacra de musique religieuse. C'est la première fois qu'une telle collection est imprimée sous la forme de partitions. Le Burial Service (Office d'enterrement) inclus dans ce recueil a toujours été, depuis lors, utilisé pour les funérailles officielles. Peu de temps après, sa santé se dégrade et il meurt lors d'un séjour à Bath.
La musique pour clavier de Croft, pour virginal, épinette et clavecin, a été publiée en deux volumes par Howard Ferguson et Christopher Hogwood en 1974. Deux autres suites furent ajoutées dans l’édition augmentée de 1982.
Yeah! A great Person has gone - what a Quenn!!!
?! How often is William Croft's music used in the UK?
Regularly. We had it at the funerals of my wife, parents and sister. It's often just said rather than sung.
Regularly if you visit English Cathedral services.
They perform a song at Every Royal funeral why did they do that is it a tradition or do they have to do that
It's a part of the Anglican church traditional music. I've read the queen may have selected some or all of the musical pieces herself for her funeral.
U
The music is composed specifically for the Funeral Sentences as part of the rites of the Church of England.
