Work introduction
For the first few years after my first wife died of cancer at the age of only twenty six I was unable to continue composing. My shattered life was consumed with raising our two babies and the focus of my life shifted to simply surviving from day to day, substituted for my youthful dreams of composing.. When I took up composition again a few years later, I poured my raw grief into this Elegy for flute and string orchestra with harp. The first performance was with Heidi Ruby-Kushious, flute,and members of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra conducted by the composer, at Epworth United Methodist Church in Columbus, Ohio.
