August (Augustin) Violand [Violland]
(Endingen am Kaiserstuhl, 8 February 1750 - Tunsel, 12 November 1811)

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.
