Elegy

Some elegies are resigned, calming pieces, but this one has a yearning, restless feeling after the opening eight bars that is not dissipated by the quiet ending. The sadness of whatever sparked the elegy permeates the music, but in a haunting and bitter-sweet way. It is a short piece that compresses a lot into its 26 bars.
Duncan Watkins (Sunday by Sunday)

Only two pages long, the Elegy is characterised by some noticeable harmonic shifts […] There are some elegant filigree decorations periodically that, gesturing to the Baroque, take us in a different direction from the harmonies. I am not sure I would try something so chromatically daring in a funeral or memorial service but there is a distinctive and characterful voice here that would work well in a recital.
