| Description: First appearing in Novello's Album for the Organ, No. 3, this plaintive "Elegy" dates from 1898, the same year as Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Opus 33 "Ballade for Orchestra" and his Opus 30 cantata "Song of Hiawatha". The simple lyricism of the expressive melody in G minor is both heartfelt and melancholy. |
