April 19, 1865 was a warm cloudless day in Washington DC as the funeral of Abraham Lincoln took place in the East Room of the Executive Mansion. This was to be the third of sad services held there since the beginning of the Lincoln administration. The first, in 1861, memorialized 24-year-old Colonel Elmer Ellsworth, a friend of the family who was killed at the beginning of the war in Alexandria, Virginia. The second, in 1862, was a particularly heart-breaking service for the president's 11-year-old son Willie.
At noon 600 specially invited guests were present for the service and listened to Dr. Phineas D. Gurley, pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, deliver the sermon.
“He is dead; but the memory of his virtues, of his wise and patriotic counsels and labors, of his calm and steady faith in God lives, is precious, and will be a power for good in the country quite down to the end of time.”
Following the service twelve Veteran Reserve sergeants carried the casket to the waiting horse drawn hearse that would bear the remains to the US Capitol.
It was to be the largest, most elaborate, procession ever held in Washington with military units, bands, clergy, congressional delegations, state officials, generals, and civilian mourners all moving to the slow steady pace of the funeral dirge. Indeed, many would recall the sound of the muffled drums heard that day for years. Thousands who had been waiting since dawn lined the Pennsylvania Avenue and watched from seats in buildings.
It is interesting to note that the scale of the procession would be almost equaled almost a century later when the remains of President John F. Kennedy were borne up the same avenue. Jacqueline Kennedy had requested the same type of funeral for her husband as had been held for the 16th president. We can all remember the sights and sounds that day in November, 1963
The procession started from the Executive Mansion at 2 pm and proceeded up Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol amidst the tolling of bells and the firing of minute-guns.
Among the military units was the US Marine Band playing a funeral march written for the occasion by John Gross Barnard, a general who served as Chief Engineer of the Department of Washington from 1861 to 1864, and as Chief Engineer of the armies in the field from 1864 to 1865. He was a distinguished scientist, engineer, mathematician, historian, author and musician.
The march is titled:
“Funeral March in Memory of the Abraham Lincoln: Played at the Obsequies of the President of the United States by the US Marine Band.”
The funeral march follows the standard format of dirges of the time (most notable are Webster’s Funeral March, Chopin’s Funeral March and March in Saul by Handel) written in minor keys (considered somber) and divided into eight measure phrases which makes it easy for the funeral cadence to be played underneath. This funeral march, like most written during this time, has a transition to a major key (happier sounding). This march goes to the relative major (D minor to D major) key.
Since no parts are extant from the US Band, I was asked to score the march for a modern symphonic band. I hoped to capture the somber drum beat and employed a chime to replicate the bells that tolled along the funeral route.
The procession arrived at the east side Capitol at 3 pm and the casket was taken up the steps into the Rotunda where Lincoln would lie in State until the early morning of the 21st when he would begin the long journey home by train.
“Bear him gently home”
He's truly one of the most influential humans that has walked this Earth in my opinion
😂🤣🤣😅😂
As my college music director might have said, "What a gorgeous hunk of music!"
Dark, somber, stately and - above all else - dignified. The emotion comes through powerfully without being maudlin or sentimental. There is a tremendous sense of the scale and magnitude of the event, balanced with a deep feeling of loss, making the whole piece a sort of musical encapsulation of the funeral itself.
I especially like the musical effect in the coupling of the orchestra with the chimes; it really drives home the impact without being theatrical and comes across as "just right." My compliments to the arranger for such a brilliant touch.
Very somber and fitting for such a terrible loss. The effects of which are felt even today.
a fitting tribute to a great man - thanks tb
🤣🤣🤣😂😅
My family and I visited his tomb just 2 days ago. He belongs to the ages now. RIP.
Finally - A Tribute to a Wonderful & Amazing Man , Our beloved President Mr. Lincoln.
Thank You So Much for this Video. 👍🏻
😂🤣🤣😅
This is a very moving piece
Abraham Lincoln the true Father of our nation. I hope one day our country can be United in a country without hate and fear. True love of fellow man and equal rights for all. Today there is slavery on a economic level. Everyone has a right to a true working wage.
Amen
To imagine what we're experiencing in 2020. BLM wants his monuments and statues removed.
There will always be hate and fear as long as humans inhabit the earth.
@@scottouellette9411 I hate to say it, but you're right about that!
Unfortunately, he didn't believe in equal rights for poc. He fought for their freedom, but not their equality.
So beautiful and sad all at the same time. I love brass band music from this period
Very beautiful.
this is wonderful, me and my 8th graders watched this at school
very good music
Patriotic yet, so somber, it has a sort of a celebratory mournfulness to it. Very fitting for my funeral, if I may say so myself. Thank you all for paying your respects, I cannot be more grateful to each and every one of you.
Profoundly moving
Greatest human after Jesus Christ, President Abraham Lincoln
😆😅😂😂🤣
Need more people so spread this video more
He is enjoying his life and laughing so much and have so much fun I hope he already good in there :)
We have a lot to learn from Americans' history and discipline. Our third world countries need a fixing, and the American model is a great one! God bless you President Lincoln!
"" Gracias Presidente Lincoln respiramos tus sueños hechos Realidad ****
De cuales sueños hechos realidad?
Now he belongs to the ages.
The greatest president of all at other presidents of the United States is no more. If only Lincoln’s body guard was there.
Of course Mary Todd went insane💔losing children to disease then witnessing her husband's murder
You think she went insane, but you are so very wrong.
@@kerryschlegel1317 maybe not insane but she became a recluse

, Lincoln may have been the first to have to deal with a wife who's mind was coming off the rails but Bill Clinton has been doing that for decades!
She was more likely bipolar. She also took various medications which probably contained laudanum.
Wow
Somber and sad

Cause of Death: Donald Trump
VOTE BLUE 2024
DOWN WITH TRUMPISM
I'm not a political guy, but since 2020 when Mr. Biden who is apart of the "blue" party was elected, my family have gone through financial troubles thanks to whatever the hell he is doing and increasing prices on anything and to say you want more of him is insane, I'm not defending the other guy, but if anything I rather live under him instead of the ancient relic that sits in the presidential mansion who has made even the basic necessities a hassle to buy.

It’s Trump Fault
He ruined our economy and mishandling the pandemic
He is racist convicted felon traitor
James Brown shall resurrect to sing and dance when Trump goes that path.
Lincoln got what he deserved!
What - exactly - do you mean?
@@lilyflower9093, it's a little thing called karma! He totally ignored the fact that, then as now, the Democrats were even more crooked and evil than the South ever was. The government was trying to force the South into restrictive trading and used their succession from the crooked Union as a way to force them back "into line". Everybody jumps on the slavery issue but NEVER really look at what was driving the South to break away....northern tyranny. The North had as many, or more slaves, nearly ALL owned by Democrats, than the South (a fact conveniently ignored by everyone). Oh, and the very first slave owner was....A BLACK MAN! Nobody went after him. Lincoln should have left the South alone until he cleaned up the sewage around his own feet first. He didn't do that and got what I feel was karma!
No one deserves to be killed. Even MR LINCOLN.
@@richardcline1337 ummm Lincoln was a Republican and democrats were confederates
