Elegy was commissioned by organist Douglas Cleveland. It is a one-movement work in a lyrical, meditative style. Its harmonic language is French-influenced, but the composer considers the piece primarily melodic. Although Elegy is not a programmatic work, it is based on musical materials that are varied throughout, and suggested to the composer a thoughtful, pastoral setting. Score and part included. c. 3:30
