I know this is a pretty odd question and just the fact of thinking what music to put in your own funeral is weird, but I wanted to ask this question. I would bring this five pieces in this order: - Chopin prelude in C minor Quite a dramatic way to start, but is a sad piece and full of beautiful contrasts - Rachmaninov etude tableaux in g minor The beautiful introspective melody of this etude with The barcarolle-like accompaniment makes it very emotional. This is specially beautiful when the high chords are introduced -Rachmaninov moment musicaux in b minor just by listening to the first 20 seconds of this piece you will understand why I put it here, it starts quite solemn, but then, the contrasting phrase makes you want to cry -Bach prelude no 4 from book one of the well tempered clavier Obviously, played in an unorthodox way with a piano instead of a harpsichord and with some pedal, this prelude can be beautiful and suitable for a funeral -Rachmaninov prelude in B minor Such a beautiful nostalgic piece, full of emotional harmonies and a powerful climax in the middle section, followed by a delicate cadenza and a “reprise” of the stillness of the beginning, and ending between major and minor PS: the fact that I am thinking about what music to put in my funeral doesn’t mean that I am dying, it is just a mere consequence of my boredom

This is a really nice listen - such satisfying harmonies! It does have its own Christmassy vibe, even if that's not what you intended! I didn't hear the original audio but I still think this new one is quite bright and harsh (maybe just my speaker). I'd also be interested to hear it on various electric pianos etc. You could experiment with how that changes the mood. As a piece of piano music, though, this works really well. Tidy up the score a bit and it will be a great piece! Thanks for adding this to the event!

I do deliberately use broken chords becoz I wanna act like a novice composer who wanna impress others but fail to do so LoL!! Also isn't that 8 bars "stretto" and "canon" 4-voice bells GREAT HAHA?! Thx for listening!! Henry

Thank you so much! Glad to hear you enjoyed the listen...as I've said in previous comments it's definitely not in my usual wheelhouse to make things in this style, but considering how fun this one was to make I want to continue to branch into some other styles! As for the sleigh bells, I was worried I was already relying on them too much throughout the rest of the song! Might revisit this one after the event and rework the ending a bit.
