Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary
Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary, Z. 860 is a march, canzona. They were written by Henry Purcell, together with a setting of ''Thou Knowest Lord'', for the funeral of Queen Mary II of England in 1695. Purcell's setting of ''Thou knowest Lord'' was performed at his own funeral in November of the same year.〔"Queen Mary's Funeral Music", ''The Oxford Dictionary of Music''. Oxford University Press (ISBN 0-19-861459-4).〕 An electronic version of the ''Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary'' by Wendy Carlos was used by Stanley Kubrick for the main theme to his film ''A Clockwork Orange''. Another version is heard in Chris Marker's Le souvenir d'un avenir (Remembrance of things to come).
==Background==
Queen Mary II died in December 1694, but her funeral was not until March 1695. Purcell composed a setting of the sixth of the seven sentences of the Anglican Burial Service (Thou Knowest Lord, Z. 58C) for the occasion, together with the March and Canzona (Z. 780)〔Bruce Wood: "The First Performance of Purcell’s Funeral Music for Queen Mary" in Performing the Music of Henry Purcell, edited by Michael Burden, pages 61–81 (Oxford University Press, 1996)〕 It is believed these were performed with settings of the other six sentences by the Elizabethan composer Thomas Morley〔Bruce Wood: "The First Performance of Purcell’s Funeral Music for Queen Mary" in ''Performing the Music of Henry Purcell'', edited by Michael Burden, pages 61–81 (Oxford University Press, 1996).〕 Purcell had much earlier composed settings of three of the Burial Service sentences, including two different ones of ''Thou Knowest Lord''.〔Bruce Wood: "The First Performance of Purcell’s Funeral Music for Queen Mary" in Performing the Music of Henry Purcell, edited by Michael Burden, pages 61–81 (Oxford University Press, 1996)〕 The earlier settings are contained in autograph score, but there is no autograph of the 1695 music〔Bruce Wood: "The First Performance of Purcell’s Funeral Music for Queen Mary" in Performing the Music of Henry Purcell, edited by Michael Burden, pages 61–81 (Oxford University Press, 1996).〕 Later in 1695 Purcell reused the March and Canzona as part of incidental music for Thomas Shadwell's play The Libertine〔Ian Spink, ''Purcell's Music for 'the Libertine, Music & Letters, Vol. 81, No. 4 (Nov., 2000), 520-531.〕
