Grande symphonie funèbre et triomphale

Album by Hector Berlioz & The Wallace Collection & John Wallace

Grande symphonie funèbre et triomphale is a symphony by French composer Hector Berlioz, composed in 1840. Scored for expanded military-style brass and wind forces with organ and chorus, it alternates solemn funeral marches and processional, triumphant brass chorales, exemplifying Berlioz's interest in large-scale ceremonial sonorities and representing a turn in his output toward public, ceremonial music distinct from his programme symphonies.
First released: 1989
