"The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo; No more on life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few. On Fame's eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spread, And Glory guards, with solemn round, The bivouac of the dead." "Bivouac of the Dead" poem by Theodore O'Hara
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. from "for the fallen" by Laurence Binyon
Elgar's Enigma Variations, with 'Nimrod' - the Hunter - as opening movement remains an excellent musical choice, and played by Wind Band rather than by strings.
Beautyfull tribute full of meanings :) thx Iain

Thanks you for noticing. I had professional help. A friend is a professional French Horn player and music prof.
Still a great video and worth a repost.
Great video sir
Thanks
Thank you Iain.
Beautiful tribute to the fallen. May we never forget.
