Description
Description:	A brass band begins to play Mendelssohn's Funeral March (returning to the scene at the beginning of the film) for John's funeral procession; it overlaps slightly with the end of the Lullaby theme; this ending scene uses the same camera setups and shots as at the beginning of the film, but the dialogue and acting is all new; it acts as a nice bookend to the film
On-screen:	John's funeral procession
Music annotations:	[m. 3] as before; [m. 4] pp; [m. 10] change; [m. 12] etc. as before; [m. 16] or an 8va lower (as before)
