My Body Is a Cage From "Assassin\'s Creed 3" [Orchestral Mix]

J.Widmann - Trauermarsch for piano and orchestra - S.Rattle and Y.Bronfman Première - 20 Trauermarsch for piano and orchestra was co-commissioned by the Berlin Philharmonic, San Francisco Symphony,
and Toronto Symphony for Yefim Bronfman, who premiered it with Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic in
December 2014. The title translates to “Funeral March”—an idea that has captured composers’ imaginations
throughout history, famous examples from the standard orchestral repertoire including those in Beethoven’s Eroica
Symphony and Mahler’s Fifth Symphony.
Though Widmann set out to write a conventionally structured, multi-movement concerto, the funeral march music
he planned as an introduction was so compelling that he decided to explore its potential over the course of a single,
twenty-minute movement, during which the march undergoes an evolving and far-ranging process of variation. The
primary two-note descending figure is, according to the composer, “a motif that since Monteverdi has expressed
lament.” There is a similar figure at the start of the second movement of Brahms’s German Requiem. Widmann
