"elegy" is a very personal work and was written in memory of my first wife who passed away due to cancer in 1997. Anna loved the beach and we would sit for seemingly endless hourse watching the waves and the sea gulls as we walked along and collected shells. Her favorite place was Sanibel Island, just south of Ft. Myers, Fl.
Henry Van Dykes' poem, "A Parable of Immortality" seemed achingly appropriate to eulogize her as I have a picture of her walking on the beach framed with it as a keepsake.
I reworked the third movement of my "Children's Suite" for orchestra entitled "Elegy (Goodbye, friend)" into a four-part choral setting, and set it to the Van Dyke text.
