In Memoriam

Although you might think by the title of this composition that it was dedicated to a Baroque master, the true nature of the music lies in a 20th century event. The composer adopted the style of another composer in this deeply personal work that remembers his friends lost in the First World War. When he was confronted for the light-hearted nature of this elegy, he replied, "The dead are sad enough, in their eternal silence."
