postlude
" An organ postlude is played after the recessional hymn has been sung and while guests are leaving. This can be quiet and meditative, or majestic and imposing, as the family desires."

Comment: "Oh, oh... I'm going against the majority here, but "musical postlude" worked well, considering I also used "musical prelude" and "musical interlude" - the client was happy.
My thanks also go out to David, whose suggestion could've worked just as well (IMHO).
:-)"

"recessional" would be enough I would say

: this is the term I was just checking. It is more for a church than a university lecture hall - but then, how many people have an extra bit of their funeral held at the uni? A bit specialist and unusual, therefore "churchy" language is allowed, I think!

: I'm pretty sure it's used in university graduation ceremonies too. It's not just a church term.

: I believe the congegration/audience remains seated during the recessional, which (in a church setting) is played as the *clergy* departs.
