Ludwig van Beethoven composed his Elegiac Song in memory of Eleonore Pasqualati, the wife of his long-standing friend and patron Johann Baptist Freiherr von Pasqualati zu Osterberg, who died young. The short choral piece, alternating between quiet pain and drama and with a discreet string accompaniment, was published for the first time in 1826. In addition to the vocal and string parts, there is a piano part which can be used as an alternative to the strings. This piano part is used as the basis of the Carus vocal score. A performance with just chorus and piano is therefore possible - although not the original version, this was one which was widespread from the beginning. Score available separately - see item CA.1039600.

Of the works presented in volume 6, the Four elegiac Songs op. 128 for solo voice and organ, with their arialike characteristics, are musically among the most demanding compositions. The Marian Hymns op. 171 display a variety of scorings for small ensembles, a trait which characterizes all the songs in this volume: This opus contains pieces for one, two or three voices. In addition, No. 1 (Ave Maria) appears in versions for either low- or high-registered voice. The appendix of this volume includes alternate versions for a few works in this volume, some of which are first editions, including Quam dilecta, which is a Latin version, with harp and organ, of the hymn Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen op. 35.

Originally written for concert band (and commissioned by the U.S. Marine Band), Esprit de Corps is a fantasy-march that serves as a tribute to both the Marine Corps and the Marine Band. Composed immediately after the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon, the composer chose to forego an elegiac tribute in favor of a work that reflects the positive spirit of the Corps, full of energy and dynamism. Even the tempo marking, ?Tempo di Bourgeois,? reflects the dramatic and spirited conducting of Col. John R. Bourgeois, conductor of the Marine Band at the time of composition.

In 1880, Edvard Grieg composed twelve song poems by Aasmund Olavsson Vinje. He arranged two of these songs for String Orchestra published under the title of Two Elegiac Melodies, Op. 34. These two deeply meloncholy pieces were titled The Wounded Heart and Last Spring. The latter of these two titles inspired Tohru Takahashi to produce this expressive and sensitive transcription for Concert Band, which will make a fantastic encore piece for any concert.

Last Spring komt uit de Two Elegiac Melodies for String Orchestra, opus 34. Deze muziek, gecomponeerd in 1880, is oorspronkelijk geschreven voor twee liederen uit Grieg's album opus 33: The Wounded Heart en Spring.De laatste van deze twee titels inspireerde Tohru Takahashi tot het maken van een prachtige transcriptie die heel geschikt is als toegift. Met hart en ziel gespeeld zal deze muziek uw beslist raken.

Edvard Grieg komponierte Zwölf Lieder zu Gedichten von Aasmund Olavsson Vinje. Zwei dieser Lieder arrangierte er für Streichorchester unter dem Titel Zwei elegische Melodien. Diese Lieder heißen The Wounded Heart (Der Verwundete) und The Last Spring (Letzter Frühling). Letzteres inspirierte Tohru Takahashi zu einer emotionalen Transkription, die mehr Musikverständnis als technische Fertigkeiten verlangt und sich hervorragend als Zugabenummer eignet.

En 1880, Edvard Grieg achève ses Douze mélodies sur des poèmes d’Aasmund Olavsson, Op. 33. Par la suite, il réalise une version pour Orchestre Cordes de deux mélodies extraites de ce cycle, et les publie sous le titre de Deux mélodies élégiaques, Op. 34. Il s’agit de deux pièces profondément mélancoliques, comme l’annoncent les sous-titres : Coeur blessé et Dernier printemps. Tohru Takahashi a réalisé une superbe transcription de la seconde mélodie, expressive et pleine de sensibilité (Dernier printemps/Last Spring).
