Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary

Album by Henry Purcell & Winchester Cathedral Choir & Baroque Brass of London & The Brandenburg Consort & David Hill

Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary is a set of funeral music composed by English composer Henry Purcell in 1695 for the ceremonial funeral of Queen Mary II. The score employs sombre choral and instrumental writing within a late Baroque idiom, with slow, stately passages and rich harmonic textures, and it sits among Purcell's final ceremonial works for the royal court.
