"Equali," two pieces for four trombones. i.

These equali, as it turned out, were eventually used for Beethoven's funeral.

At the latter's request the master composed three equali for trombones for All Souls' Day, then near at hand.

The music consisted of two equali composed by Beethoven many years before, arranged for this occasion by Seyfried, to the words of the Miserere and Amplius.

The weird, dismal strains of a quartette of trombones, in a recess far above the heads of the congregation, playing the three splendid "Equali," Beethoven's funeral hymn, swept through the vaulted roof of the Abbey, in pure tones never to be forgotten.
