Dedicated to the promotion and execution of the art of Funerary Violin, a tradition once placed at the very heart of our notions of mortality but now sadly neglected if not forgotten altogether; the Guild of Funerary Violinists works tirelessly to raise awareness of both the great wealth of music composed to accompany the laying to rest of a tragically departed soul and also the profundity of ritual and symbolism associated with mortality and the Funerary Aesthetic, that seems to be so lacking in the culture of today, where Death is pushed to one side and hidden like some embarrassing family secret. It is only by staring Death in the face that you can truly say you have known Life; it is only by losing that which you hold most dear that you can truly say you have known Love; such is the Art of the Funerary Violinist: NULLUS FUNUS SINE FIDULA

More examples of Funerary Violin music can be heard at www.guildoffuneraryviolinists.org.uk In addition, examples from the Guild's extensive archive collection of wax cylinder recordings (1906-1956) can be heard using the MP3 player to the left (be sure to switch off the above MP3 player first).

(Regrettably the Guild of Funerary Violinists is still on dial-up, and hence the tracks are currently only in mono. We hope this doesn't marr your enjoyment.)

EXCLUSIVE CDS OF BOTH MODERN RECORDINGS AND ARCHIVE RECORDINGS DATING BACK TO 1906 CAN BE HEARD AND PURCHASED AT www.guildoffuneraryviolinists.org.uk. Click on CD cover image for more details and to hear more examples.

The story of Von Cosel is based on a true case of a doctor who took the notion of love beyond the grave. Madman and a necrophiliac, or a misunderstood lover? You Decide...

hey there, I hope all is well there for you.

I've tried to email through your website in regards to getting a book and some cd's sent out this way but the email seems to not be working, or the inbox is full.

take care, see you.
