Beautiful music for funerals
Music is an important part of the memorial service, creating atmosphere and bringing comfort. Through us, you can book an instrumentalist or a small ensemble to perform at your event in Helsinki and the surrounding areas.
Repertoire
A memorial service typically features organ music provided by the parish's own cantor. Suitable hymns and pieces for the organ can be found, for example, on the parishes' websites.
In addition to organ music, string instruments—especially violin and cello—are common choices. Listed below are pieces that are particularly well-suited for the violin:
- Giazotto (Albinoni) Adagio
- Bach Air
- Bach Arioso
- Järnefelt Berceuse ♫
- Mascagni Cavalleria rusticana - Intermezzo
- Bach Chorale cantata no. 147

- Sibelius Romanssi (Romance)
- Rautavaara Sininen uni

The choice of music for the service can also be highly personal and, for example, relate to memories from throughout life.
