Question

Name the type of funeral music characterized by slow, sad, music being played before interment followed by upbeat, celebratory, music afterwards? Where did this type of funeral music have its origins?

Answer 1

I’m not entirely sure what the question is asking for, but Jazz music was created in New Orleans. (although it’s roots originally come from Africa and parts of Europe) In the beginning Jazz music was mostly played at funerals and other social events in New Orleans. Depending on what type of jazz you look at, it could be slow/sad/smooth, and upbeat.
