Funeral Marches MHP 222

Following our visit to Maidenhead at the end of September we have completed the project with The Band of the Household Cavalry.

That work entailed the recording of each of the six funeral marches played during the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the 19th of September 2022. These marches included works by Beethoven, Chopin and Mendelssohn.

We also recorded the Cavalry Last Post and Reveille which were featured at the church service at Westminster Abbey that day.

Each of these recordings will be available for free download shortly at The Household Division website, https://www.householddivision.org.uk/gift-to-the-nation-Library.

You can preview two of the recorded items here:-
