Good stuff, Mac!
As I listened I was preparing a snide remark about having the Wedding March and not the Funeral March. You had it higher ranked.
What? No Bagpipes?
Great selection. I would have to expand the list to include Gounod’s “Funeral March for a Marionette”, Tchaikovsky’s “Marche Slave”, Meredith Wilson’s “Seventy-Six Trombones”, and Sousa’s “Semper Fidelis”, but that’s just me. The last two require an actual marching band to be fully effective.
And on #3 on the video…over-acting at the keyboard is a sin of some kind, it must be. She crosses the line between expressiveness and showboating, IMO. Beautiful playing, though.
