Tenor solo, Mixed choir (SATB), Piano.
Leos Janácek (1854 1928) composed the cantata Elegy On The Death Of My Daughter Olga (1903) a mere two months after the loss of his beloved child. The titlepage bears his dedication “In memory of my Olga”.
The piece is composed to the Czech translation of the original Russian verses of his daughter’s friend M. N. Veveritsa. The composer’s intimate and sorrowful memory resoundsin Tenor solo, Mixed Choir and Piano. The Elegy was not premiered until 27 years after its completion, and it is still unjustly considered a piece of marginal importance.
The publication is introduced by a detailed PrefacebyVladim r Helfert (Cz., Eng., Ger., Fr.). The lyrics are set in Czech, German and English.
