Elegies, a song cycle

by William Finn

William Finn (composer and lyricist of the Tony Award-winning 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) weaves a triumphant tapestry of songs into an evening that is at once deeply heartbreaking and yet brimming with exuberant wit. In a pastiche of musical narratives, Elegies pays tribute to incomprehensible loss, unimaginable grace, and infinite joy.

“These friends and colleagues of the composer’s who have died over the last two decades are resurrected in playful lyrics bursting with internal rhymes that remember them in all their quirky vitality.”
— The New York Times
