George Whitefield Chadwick's ELEGY - originally composed for organ and later orchestrated by the composer - bears the dedication, "In Memoriam Horatio Parker." The Elegy is a mournful and reflective composition written in memory of Horatio Parker, an influential American composer in his own right, and Chadwick's colleague, friend, and one-time pupil. Chadwick and Parker were part of the Second New England School of composers, a group that aimed to establish a distinctly American musical identity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Chadwick's ELEGY reflects his deep respect and admiration for Parker, as well as his own sense of loss at Parker's passing. The piece embodies somber and contemplative emotions, expressed through lush harmonies, poignant melodies, and moments of dramatic intensity.
