Carol recalls her feelings as she composed Elegy:

"When I wrote it, the score was dotted with tears but I chose not to use where my tears fell on the music paper, even though the tears fell between the lines like notes and it would have been so Camp to use those and create a tune made of tears.  But I used only those notes that came from my heart and ears, not from my eyes."

Elegy was World-premiered by Cellist Joyce Geeting and Concert Pianist Robert Sage at St. Martin-in-The-Fields on March 18th, 2003 and is reprised here in this newly released recording. The work, commissioned by Ms. Geeting, is an offering of love and healing written in the aftermath of September 11th. 'Elegy' begins with the innocence of early morning and ends with the sunrise of the following day. 'Elegy' is both a tribute to those lost and a healing work for those left behind. The work has since been performed numerous times since its premiere. 'Elegy' is currently being orchestrated by the composer into a symphony-length full orchestra Cello Concerto.

"Love is never really lost,
 courage is never really in vain and
 there will always be a new sunrise.
"
-From the Frontispiece of Elegy
(as written by the composer)
