5. Marche Funèbre Frederic Chopin's March popularly played at funerals (even at his own). I've included Chopin's popular funeral march not just because of its iconic status within our own cultural moment, but because we can see the influence of popular entertainment, like musical compositions, being employed by mourners. I argue that the repurposing of Chopin's funeral march signals another moment where the cultural norms surrounding death are taken to display fashionable cultural materials.
