Go to 1:03:00 in the video and listen. You will hear a very familiar tune woven in the postlude, "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

Cool Funeral Postlude
Some of you may know Casper Holroyd, a 1948 graduate of Duke. Casper died earlier this week and his funeral was yesterday. Hayes Barton UMC (the church I belonged to in Raleigh) streamed Casper's funeral service, and the video is online here: http://p23.worshipstream.com/6/HayesBartonUMC

I told the Rev Lawgrad I wanted this at my funeral, many years hence (I hope).

Re: Cool Funeral Postlude
I've been to funerals for Tarheels where Hark the Sound was played at the end. But this was the first one I've heard for a Blue Devil. I loved the way it was tastefully woven into "Joy"--- most fitting. Nice, indeed!
