And so the rest of you have some idea what we're talking about, I've created a quick MIDI and slapped it in the Files area here:

Also a variant I wrote for a completely different purpose that sounds a lot more cheerful (well, the original *is* meant to be a lament for the guy's death).

I'm sure someone can write some Broyan-suitable words to one or the other? Or in fact to both - the rhythm's the same.
