Hitch 55 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I've already stated in my will that the following music is to be played at my funeral:1. John Williams - HYMN TO THE FALLEN from SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. Played 13 times for each chin.2. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Lacrimosa from REQUIEM when I'll be cremated topped off with the theme from VOYAGER by Jerry Goldsmith which will be played around the clock.3. Jerry Goldsmith - Theme from THE OMEN in case I go the other way which wouldn't be far from the truth.Hitch, who ponders the day when he'll go the way of the dodo.

SeekUYoda 0 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Interesting question!It is well with my soul (the hymn) - with two key changes. "When it's all been said and done" - from the Revival in Belfast CD. Amazing Grace - also with two key changes.Luke & Leia - JW, Return of the Jedi"Nocturne" from Concerto for Horn, John WilliamsProbably that will be quite more than enough.... we don't want to keep them there forever!
