Description

for narrator, SATB chorus and chamber or string orchestraAn Oxford Elegy combines adapted versions of The Scholar Gypsy and Thyrsis by Victorian poet Matthew Arnold.

It conveys the story of an Oxford scholar who abandons his friends and studies to live in the countryside surrounding the city as a gypsy.

The work is unusual in the fact that the text is largely spoken by a narrator, with the chorus providing mostly wordless accompaniment.

The result is a highly atmospheric and evocative work that combines pastoral simplicity with darker, more melancholic passages.

Scores and parts for the string and chamber orchestra accompaniments are available on hire.
