Elegy

About Elegy

This is a short piece I wrote the morning after my grandmother died. It was performed at her memorial service. I never felt quite right sharing it with the public, but Patricia Gray of Luna Nova once told me she thought her audience would find it comforting so programmed it on a concert. That seems like a good thing to me, so if you’d like to perform it in a small setting drop me a line.

I re-used the main melodic line in Elegy II for solo viola.
