3 Elegies

Poignant expressions of emotion and introspection, these elegies are studies in modal experimentation. The first piece elicits a unique sense of hopeful mourning, using a bass ostinato figure to provide a sense of stability. The second elegy takes a more experimental route, playing with dissonance and unconventional modal modulation that evokes a complex emotional journey. The third, marked by its simplicity and clarity, relies on a carefully chosen modal framework to convey timeless contentment.
