Elegy

Program note " When I heard about the ferry accident in South Korea, April. 16. 2014, I coudn't express my deep sadness with any words. I immediately felt that I had to do something as a member of South Korea and as a composer...." a part of speech by Han before the concert During summer in 2014, I was reading a poem by A Shropshire Lad by A.E. Housman, I was storked by two poems in the book. And the beatiful poems are combined with Korean archaic expressive words from Korean folk tune lyrics rebirth as a song. Elergy is decated to all who are in heartsick from the lost. Especally, this song sings to victms of Danwon Highschool students in the ferry. Text XL Into my heart an air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those remembered hills, What are spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again XXXVIII (Second half) Oh stay with my company and mirth and daylight and the air; Too full already is the grave Of fellows that were good and brave And died because they were. adopted text from A Shropshire Lad by A.E.Housman
