Elegy for Lou Harrison (2012) 13’
A heartfelt tribute to my music composition teacher, the esteemed American composer Lou Harrison, who died in 2003. The Elegy for Lou Harrison depicts stages of grief, beginning with denial and anger, proceeding to depression, and arriving at acceptance and grace. The Elegy has been performed twice by the San Jose Chamber Orchestra. Contact me directly if you want to listen to a performance audio of the piece.
