"American Elegy for Strings" is an elegy for the American legacy realized over the past 75 years. It is bittersweet, melancholy, and elegiac, a pause to commemorate the loss of so much progress in such a short period of time. While we should remain optimistic and resolute to overcome the dramatic setbacks the country has experienced, the Elegy is a comfort in those moments when one may need to indulge a sense of loss and channel outrage into resolve. This live version features Damian Bolotin on violins, Nikos Mavridis on viola, and Emanuel Pavon on cello. Quartet scores and composer notes are available on request - please contact info@rhysjonesmusic.com. Copyright (c) 2025 Rhys Jones; all rights reserved.
