Funeral march

A funeral march ("Marche funèbre" in French, "Marcia funebre" in Italian, "Trauermarsch" in German, "Marsz żałobny" in Polish), as a musical genre, is a march, usually in a minor key, in a slow "simple duple" metre, imitating the solemn pace of a funeral procession. Some such marches are often considered appropriate for use during funerals and other sombre occasions, the most well-known being that of Chopin. Handel uses the name dead march, also used for marches played by a military band at military funerals and executions.
