Elegy
Gregory Wanamaker
About this work:
Elegy is an arrangement for string orchestra of the slow movement (also titled Elegy) of my Duo Sonata for clarinet and saxophone. This movement also exists in a version for string quartet and saxophone quartet.
Elegy in its first version was written in memory of those who died in the tragedy on September 11, 2001. The current version exists for all those who wish to remember a loved one lost for any reason.
The work is a strictly white-note Aeolian work based on very simple motives.
