'Elegy' was written between April 16th - 17th after the Boston Marathon Attacks on April 15th for string orchestra and cello solo. The Elegy is meant to be a reflective piece, making the listener think about the situation and how it has affected many people for a short while, and forever. The ending is quite ambiguous, symbolising the whirlwind of emotions felt both by the composer, and the people involved.

Sheet music is available, if you wish to message me.
