Choir members were invited to share their choice of music for their funeral service. This was tenor Jason Sanderson’s selection of five pieces.

 

1. Finlandia for coffin procession. It's a piece of music that brings me to tears as it’s so full of emotion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE0RbPsC9uE&t=1s

2. Alla Hornpipe from Handel’s Water Music for when my coffin leaves. This was the first piece of classical music that I appreciated https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRoEo7lZO6s

3. In the Bleak Midwinter for no other reason than it's my favourite Christmas Carol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb9tHjuy9Hw

4. Cantique De Jean Racine So much beauty, a true example of musical artistry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g16zSj6Ynko

5. Byrd Ave Verum The greatest of all the Ave Verums. So simple and full of passion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3vuU7XAaUM
