What music would you like played when you've bought the farm?

post #1 of 28
Thread Starter 

A search turned up a few threads about this, but most of them started pushing up the daisies over four years ago. I figured instead of necromancing, I'd begin afresh.

 

Lately I've found myself listening a great deal to "In Paradisum" from the Faure Requiem. I often fall asleep listening to it--a "lullaby of death" indeed. I'm particularly enamored with the Jeremy Summerly/Schola Cantorum of Oxford recording on Naxos.

 

Somewhere along the line I decided that, when I'm dead, this is the piece I want played (or performed).

 

I know it's kind of morbid, but I'm sure some of you have paid a passing thought to this. So I ask you, which song/piece would you like played when you make like Polly the Parrot? It could be anything, and it certainly doesn't have to be "purpose-written" like the Faure Requiem.

Tallis's Spem in alium or Karl Jenkins's Benedictus. My selection varies by mood and memory however. Some days I favour Mozart's Dies Irae.

I've already given instructions that Exile on Main Street be played once in its entirety and then everyone go home.

 

Then bury me with headphones on.

I can't even listen to this song. It's far too depressing. But I think I'm with you on this.

Pearl Jam's "Man of The Hour" from the Big Fish soundtrack.  Exquisite words and music in that song.
