The Last Farewell is a song from 1971 by British folk singer Roger Whittaker and Ronald Webster.
The song went to number 1 in 11 other countries, selling an estimated 11 million copies worldwide, making it Whittaker’s best-known song.
Whittaker says much of the appeal of The Last Farewell comes from the classical-sounding nature of the French horns opening solo.
The arrangement for concert band, fanfare and brass band is written by Steve Cortland.
