Iva Ugrcic - flute
Kyle D. Johnson - piano

This simple and short, but very powerful and extremely expressive piece, Elegie (based on the poem by Lucian Blaga), its a musical snapshot of Doina Rotaru's brilliant work!

ELEGIE by Lucian Blaga
Trembling the same - water and leaf
at the ticks of the same clock.
In what ream and in what sleep have you stopped?
Under what grass have you stayed - angelic?

They pour out of me - all the roads,
on which you stopped.
The mirror holds onto your image
even long after you left.

With no thought, no will, no voice,
my sleeve dries up wet eyes.
A neighbor through my wall - hears
the hidden patience in my steady pace.
