Siegfrieds Funeral March and Finale[edit]

1876 – Götterdämmerung: Siegfried's Funeral March and Finale

The funeral march and finale from Götterdämmerung is commonly presented outside the opera house and published seperately from the entire work, as in this military band arrangement.

This piece is commonly presented outside of opera houses and separately published from the entire work. Thus, it is a good candidate in isolation. This piece adds significantly to the following articles:

P.S. could the cognoscenti explain why {{Richard Wagner}} does not include Der Ring des Nibelungen, Das Rheingold discography, Die Walküre discography, Siegfried discography, and Götterdämmerung discography.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 14:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see any need to clutter that template with links to discographies; these are only one click away via the link to the opera. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I can't support it without knowing more about it. When did the Marine Band record it? I could not find that information at the file. Edison (talk) 14:55, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It is unclear. According to an Amazon.com search on the term "Music of Richard Wagner Marine" an MP3 Download of the album was released on October 15, 2006 and an Audio CD on June 12, 2008. Metadata from the downloaded file read by Audacity has a 1981 date for this track, but a 1989 date for track 4 from the same album. Advice?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:39, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I just found a source.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:03, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - When in doubt, worldcat usually helps: http://www.worldcat.org/title/music-of-richard-wagner/oclc/22397798&referer=brief_results says recorded in 1981. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 21:00, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good performance, can hear some background noises at the start (page turning or something like that) but it's barely noticeable. Very high quality. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 2:04pm • 04:04, 13 April 2011 (UTC) Oppose per Kleinzach and Micahel Bednarek. —James ^{(Talk • Contribs)} • 1:53pm • 03:53, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Description issues - This is an arrangement. [1]. You cannot act as if it isn't, nor fail to mention the arranger. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 04:06, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Although other pieces on the album have arrangement credits, this one simply has transcription credits. Commons description page has been amended for those credits.
  - My apologies. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 09:55, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose I thought this had already been withdrawn per my comments and those of Dogbertd. I am surprised that this kind of brass band music is still being suggested for non-brass band articles. Clearly this is the work of an arranger, even if he is unknown. --Klein zach 07:06, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have no opinion regarding the suitability of this recording as a Featured Sound. I do object to its placement in any article about the Wagner operas, because it is not an opera excerpt. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 11:09, 14 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
