Opus 6

Elegy for Quy Tong

Orchestral Arragement

On 24 February 2019, my grandmother suffered a fatal cardiac arrest while traveling to Nanaimo, BC. When I woke up to the news, as I had slept through the entire incident, the emotions that struck me I felt could only be properly expressed through music. This elegy, containing the essence of my anguish and shock, is both inspired by and dedicated to my grandmother and her passing.
