---
German Benedictine monk, church musician, and composer primarily
associated with the St. Trudpert Abbey in the Black Forest. Born in
Endingen am Kaiserstuhl, Violand is believed to have studied under the
Italian composer Pasquale Anfossi, a collaboration that influenced his
own musical output. Throughout his ecclesiastical career, he served as a
vicar in Grunern and a pastor in Tunsel, while simultaneously holding
the influential roles of choirmaster (Chorregent) and organist at St.
Trudpert. His compositional legacy reflects the liturgical music of the
era, consisting of a significant body of religious vocal works,
including masses, offertories, and vespers.
