It was probably a commissioned work-maybe for the French Army- who would have , of course a need for a martial funeral dirge- quite distinct from the l-2-3- Trumpet practice of Taps, no disrespect implied. That"s a logical angle-what with a need for some formal march at state funerals-where the hearse was going a considerable distance from the Funeral parlor ( Salon, in French) to the cemetery. My guess some (Political) assignment- like those imposed on the Poets Laureate of England- e.g. write a poem on a certain battle, etc ( as was the task of Lord Tennyson).
