TOD TRAUER TRAPANI - SIZILIANISCHE TRAUERMäRSCHE. EIN FILM OHNE BILDER.

Sicilian Funeral Marches.

Collected by Ben Jeger and Clemens Klopfenstein

On Good Friday, a procession of twenty people marches in circles through the

entire town of Trapani (Sicily): La Processione die Misteri.

For twenty-four hours twenty brass ensembles accompany ancient statues,

representing Christs' path of suffering until, after a long night, on the

afternoon of Easter Saturday, all becomes calm and the town waits for the

resurrection.

This is the sound recording of a night: a film without images.
