From the composer:
"Elegy is a transcription of the second movement of my Cello Concerto (1998). Elegy, as an independent piece, was first performed in 1998 by Paul Tobias and the Virginia Symphony, with JoAnn Falletta conducting. This performance was in memory of Harry Offenhartz, who was the force behind the commission. The lyrical nature of Elegy is influenced by the melodic figures of Persian vocal music. The solo cello outlines the vocal character of the piece in long melodic lines, which is first presented in the extended orchestral introduction. The principal theme is heard three times: once by the orchestra at the beginning and the other two by the soloist. The final statement is played at the highest range of the cello, in a pure and heavenly tone complemented by a sparse and soft orchestral accompaniment."
