a song cycle for a funeral

... or a secular requiem. I'm sort of planning my own funeral ;-) Well, it's just a mind game, and, as for me, it can keep on being just a mind game for quite a few years to come. I suggested the song cycle on a discussion board, stating that I had already got most of what would be needed for a well-rounded celebration, that only some consoling text would have to be added. Today I found that actually everything is already there. I do lose track of my own creations sometimes, you see ;-) These are the songs that I'd suggest for a funeral (actually there are only three songs at the moment, the others are lyrics that still wait to be set to music):

leaving traces

by the seven seas (there are three versions of this song, or, putting it more correctly, three songs sharing the same lyrics)

I'm leaving

farewell (set to music by Martin Goetz from Austria)

no more (I did this one myself)

here's to all things living
