Music For Goodbye
Contemporary live music for the funeral
Music for goodbye is based on the classic custom of hand-crafted live music, adapted to the modern needs of our time. By creating with a variety of small settings from a repertoire of pop, jazz, chanson and world music, the magic of the moment brings odes to life, songs of gratitude, windows of memories.
Repertoire (excerpt)
With vocals:
Angel (Sarah McLachlan), Der Weg (Herbert Grönemeyer), Dust In The Wind (Kansas), Greensleeves (Traditional), I Will Always Love You (Dolly Parton/ Whitney Houston), Nature Boy (Eden Ahbez), Over The Rainbow (Harold Arlen "The Wizard Of Oz"), Tears In Heaven (Eric Clapton), Von guten Mächten (Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
Instrumental:

Varieties
2-3 vocal tracks in alternation with 1-2 sensitive instrumental interludes and the sensitive-discreet instrumental accompaniment of the funeral eulogy embed the memorial service into a soulful sound cushion that leaves room for the moments of thankful remembrance and farewell. Our repertoire includes a selection of appropriate titles from pop, jazz, soul and world music.
Depending on the instrumentation and weather conditions, we also provide a musical accompaniment during the burial at the grave. Here instrumental soloists have proven very successful.
During the funeral reception live music at room volume prepares you for a gentle transition from farewell ritual back to your everyday life. A duo can be extended on request to other instruments on a trio or quartet there.
