Maximal Funeral by Bernhard Gander is a 13-minute work for two natural trumpets, percussion (two players) and string orchestra. The piece is a long funeral march and was inspired by the fact that years before his death Emperor Maximilian always took a coffin with him on his travels to be prepared for it.
Maximal Funeral was made possible by the Hilde Zach Scholarship 2017 by the City of Innsbruck. The premiere performance by the Tiroler Kammerorchester InnStrumenti conducted by Gerhard Sammer took place on 9 March 2019 at the Canisianum, Innsbruck (Austria).
The full score (EP 14361) is available for sale as part of the Peters Contemporary Library. The performance material can be hired.
