Remembrances
Margaret Brouwer
About this work:
This tone poem is an elegy and a tribute to Robert Stewart who was a musician, composer, sailor and loved one. Beginning with an expression of grief and sorrow, the music evolves into a musical portrait, full of warm memories, love and admiration, and images of sailing. Typical of elegies and tone poems such as Death and transfiguration by Strauss, it ends in a spirit of consolation and hope.
