Trauermusik
''Trauermusik'' is a suite for viola and string orchestra, written on 21 January 1936 by Paul Hindemith at very short notice in memory of King George V of the United Kingdom, who died the previous night. The title means "Mourning Music" or "Funeral Music" in English, but the work is always known by its German title.
==Background==
On 19 January 1936, Paul Hindemith travelled to London, intending to play his viola concerto ''Der Schwanendreher'', with Adrian Boult and the BBC Symphony Orchestra in Queen's Hall, on 22 January. This was to be the British premiere of the work.
However, just before midnight on 20 January, King George V died. The concert was cancelled, but Boult and the BBC music producer Edward Clark still wanted Hindemith's involvement in any music that was broadcast in its place. They debated for hours what might be a suitable piece, but nothing could be found, so it was decided that Hindemith should write something new.〔(Hindemith's letter of 23 January 1936 to Willy Strecker, in ''Paul Hindemith: Selected Letters'' )〕 The following day, from 11 am to 5 pm, Hindemith sat in an office made available to him by the BBC and wrote ''Trauermusik'' in homage to the late king. It was written for viola and string orchestra (''Der Schwanendreher'' employs a larger complement that includes woodwinds). ''Trauermusik'' was performed that evening in a live broadcast from a BBC radio studio, with Boult conducting and the composer as soloist.
