Μουσική του Henry Purcell, κορυφαίας φυσιογνωμίας του Βρετανικού μπαρόκ, με αφορμή την νεκρώσιμη τελετή για την Βασίλισσα Mary III [Μάρτιος 1695].
Το έργο εκτελέσθηκε και στην κηδεία του ίδιου του συνθέτη, τον Νοέμβριο του ίδιου έτους.
Το εισαγωγικό [και καταληκτικό] March είναι περισσότερο γνωστό από την ηλεκτρονική βερσιόν του Walter [Wendy] Carlos που ακούγεται στην ταινία “Κουρδιστό Πορτοκάλι”.

* For my friends who didn’t know, or first timers here, Oannes [aka Socratis Papahatzis] is my husband, partner in life and music and the one with my undying admiration. Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
