The Elf Lord’s Lament

For 8ft recorder ensemble, originally written to be played by the Mellow Tones Recorder Orchestra and then received its performance premiere at Frome Festival by Phoenix Recorder Orchestra in 2023. 

This piece sees our Elf Lord back in Aelfheim after his time here in Midgard was done. We start with a solemn procession, followed by the lament. Our Elf Lord may have returned home but he is now separated from his one true love, the other half of his soul, who will remain on Midgard for many decades yet. His lament is for the sorrow of separation. 

Instrumentation: 6 parts including sub great bass. T,T,B,GtB,CB,SGtB
