I played the violin as part of a lovely funeral yesterday at St Stephens Church in Saltash. Its always a difficult gig because the music plays such an important part in setting the right feel and tone for such an occasion. I played a few pieces as a solo before the service started and then played 'Nearer my God to Thee' during a quiet moment for reflection. This is such a beautifully constructed melody and sounds so emotional with a celtic feel. The funeral was full of great music including a piper playing before and after the service. #musiciandevon
