Winston Churchill requested this to be played at his funeral.
It was one of the largest funerals for a Prime Minister in the history of Britain.

Just a little change in beat and tempo and the Battle Hymm of the Republic becomes a death march or something uplifting that gets your feet moving and wanting to dance.

At other times it is song with reverence and it becomes aprayer.
