If you’re curious, here’s a program of all the music played at the Queen’s funeral today.

Happy to see a selection from Vaughan Williams’ 5th Symphony made it, albeit in transcription for organ. Also “O Taste and see,” his setting of Psalm 34, first sung at the Queen’s coronation in 1953.

Curious to find Malcolm Williamson on the roster, as surely he was the most controversial of Masters of the Queen’s music. (He was notorious for missing deadlines.) Pleased to note his inclusion, nonetheless. An underappreciated composer.

Judith Weir, current Master of the King’s Music, and Sir James MacMillan have written new works for the occasion.

Rest in peace, QEII.
