    It sounds like an adaptation of the 12th Piano sonata, third movement "Marcia funebra sulla morte d'un Eroe" - however I am not 100% sure and I bow to my more senior members of the group who may have a the answer - but,continue to enjoy the Master's music, you will always find a piece of his for any mood you're in.

      allthough I don't know what this piece is, it's definetely NOT a transcription of the funeral march from his op.26 sonata...I've played that march *not the rest*

      I hope peter and/or the others may shed more light on it...I heard once it could be an arrangement of his equeales for trombone or something

        The "Beethoven" Funeral March in B flat (listed as WoO Anh. 13) is by Johann Heinrich Walch, an early 19th century Kappellmeister at Gotha. An arrangement of it for windband by a certain Hartmann was released on CD, EMI CZS 5.68696-2, played by the Central Band of the RAF, conducted by Wing Cdr R.E.C. Davies. The recording dates from 1971. The CD (ADD) is part of a set of two CDs, entitled "The official British Legion Classical Album. Favourite British classics and Military themes Celebrating 50 years of peace in Europe" and was released in 1995.

        They also occasionally play a 'Beethoven Funeral March No 3' (at Churchill's and the Queen mother's funeral, for example). I don't know who wrote this.

          The March at the Queen Mother's funeral was the brass band arrangement of op26's. Very effective too.

            They apparently played all 3 'Beethoven' marches, Op.26 of course being the only authentic one.

              Then I must have missed the other 'two'. But I find that strange as my sole purpose for watching the procession was to hear some Beethoven! As I have said before, in death, if not in life, she served me some useful purpose.

                I have an orchestra version of the marcia funebre from Opus 26, presented as Funeral March from the stage play Tarpeja, Beethovens WoO 2. On this cd distributed by The International Music Company AG (P 2001 TIM CZ) it is played by the Hamburger Symphoniker with director Alois Springer - the cd number being 206207/360.
                Maybe this helps...

                  Not by Beethoven, in my opinion. What I heard compares badly to Purcell, and there's no reason to think Beethoven lesser than he.

                  Reminiscent of music of the American Civil War (1861-5), but that may only be imaginary stylistic similarites.
