I would like to thank musica intima for commissioning Small Elegy.

​

This great poem means a lot to me. It was written by the late poet, author and friend Patrick Lane, and it speaks acutely to the dire situation we find ourselves in this world today. I have dedicated this new work to the memory of Vancouver, BC composer and friend Jocelyn Morlock, who died recently, leaving so many of us in the music community heartbroken.

​

I do not mean for Small Elegy to be depressing. I hope it can be sung with heart and healing for us all. (LU)
