About Dirge for the Elves

Thousands of my people died during the War of the Lance, the Chaos War, and after. If any other races on Krynn noted their passing of the sudden lack of elven influence in society, those few mortals were prohibited from setting down tributes by difficulties of their own. So I have taken it upon myself to write a fitting dirge for the elves and include it within the archives of Krynn’s music.

The work is very modal, with hints of major keys existing within like bright stars glowing from the vault of the blackest night. It has never been performed except upon the small pipe organ to which I have occasional access. As I play it, I imagine a humming chorus singing the treble line in time to the measured tread of the parts.

I dedicate the Dirge for the elven people to all of my race who have perished unsung, for those dying now, and for all those in the future who pass on with none to remember where or why they fell.

Tir ast jaruck o naden dorassan te tesalt o vethryn usthalas.
Translation: May my work bring quiet to your passing and comfort to your spirits.

Mirrashar, Elven Bard
