"Elegy on Sudden Loss" was written in 2021, between 8 May and 14 June. It was recorded by over 60 string players from the OpenSoundOrchestra under Stanislav Malyshev.  This elegy is for all who have been unexpectedly taken, but unlike most other elegies, this work is very much for those left grappling with the devastatingly raw effects of their loved-ones being torn from the weaver’s loom, seemingly before their time.
