In Sicily there is a great musical tradition linked to the traditions of Holy Week, whose "soundtrack" is represented by the funeral march.
It is also true that there is almost Sicilian town that has its own music band, it would be unwise and unfair to even mention but a few ... The fact is that, if we consider the numerical range of bands in Sicily, than any other Italian region, c 'is saying they are more than double the same Puglia which also boasts, in' southern Italy, an important position .
The funeral marches in Sicily have a completely different style, for example, from Puglia, because you'll immediately notice, listening to them, which are completely different from our own mold.
Taking into account, for example, the "slow" speed of Taranto, Bitonto or Ruvo (and perhaps 'even Molfetta), the Sicilian marches are played in a somewhat' faster and with high tones rather, what making it one of their characteristics.
The following is a list of funeral marches performed mainly in Trapani and Caltanissetta, Enna together, are a bit 'the heart of Holy Week in Sicily.
Upon completion of the above said, I refer to Holy Week in Sicily - Part this site MONDOBANDE.it , which speaks of The bands and funeral marches .
