[MikeRafone]

Only 3

What a wonderful world

the world has been a wonderful host, it truly is a beautiful place and I shall be sad to leave

Piano Concerto No. 2: II. Andante

Its a beautiful creation, so soft and gentle

Glen Cambell wichita lineman

Don’t Stop Me Now by Quuen
Highland Cathedral

I chose them years ago-I don’t have a third

Donner summoning the thunderstorm from Warner’s Das Rheingold … a dramatic exit

the rest I’m not sure about

Welsh hymn Mi glywais dynner Lais
Communards Don't leave me this way
Harry Styles Falling

Wagner that should say

Bach cantata 82 I have enough.

Deride - sandstorm
P!nk - I am here
Disturbed - sound of silence

I know it's over - The Smiths
Pale Green Things - The Mountain Goats
Holly Holy - Neil Diamond

Pié Jesu from Faure’s Requiem
Agnus Dei from Berlioz’s Requiem
Panis Angelicus

One hymn would be and can it be by Charles Wesley but you do need a full church for that. Memories from cats as incidental music either at the beginning or end.

I've chosen 2 and my daughter (32) knows what they are as does DH.
As the coffin comes in Ride of the Valkyries and as I go down to be cremated paradise city by Guns and Roses

Been those for around 25 years 🤣

Light my love - Greta Van Fleet
Lionheart - Kate Bush
Sunny - Boney M

all personal reasons!

In Christ Alone. My favourite hymn. Had it at my Baptism and at my wedding too.

'No guilt in life, no fear in death.
This is the power of Christ in me.
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from from his hand. Till he returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I stand."

It gets me every time

Thank you for the days - Kirsty McColl
Open Arms - Elbow
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol

Row On by Ninebarrow. I need to think of another two...

The In Paradisum from Faure's Requiem
Farewell you Northern Hills
A curlew or other moorland birds

No surrender. Bruce Springsteen.

The day thou gravest.

Going Home. Dire Straits.

A Sky Full of Stars - Coldplay
Land of Hope and Dreams - Bruce Springsteen
Jupiter from the Planets - Holst

Slide away by oasis s the doors open to be cremated

I want a direct cremation and then everyone to have an informal happy party with lots of Spice Girls music.

Gratia plena by Andrea bocelli
Hushabye mountain by Stacy Kent

Most of my family are church musicians so I don't want to "taint" things they often have to perform with memories of me so I'd probably go for Dido's Lament by Purcell, the Gigue from Bach's 5th French Suite and So Long farewell from the Sound of music.
