    In order to make it easier for the funeral procession to stay in-step, the tunes (which are actually traditional waltz-time 6/8 slow marches) were rewritten as 4/4 quick marches. I don't think you'll find them played anywhere else in this way.

    The massed bands practiced playing nothing else except Oft in the Stilly Night which they played later) for a solid week. What an amazing sound

    Really? Sounds like the standard 6/8 setting of Mist Covered that I play
