For the memorial service for little Alexandra and Daniel, a group of composer colleagues and I each contributed a small piece to mark this occasion, which was not only heart-rending, but also one that was suffused with a great deal of love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original version of the piece was for piano and cello and was beautifully performed at the memorial service by John Walz, an outstanding Los Angeles cellist. When the opportunity to record a CD with Yo-Yo Ma emerged, I decided to orchestrate the Elegy and Yo-Yo kindly agreed to record it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- John Williams \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerformance sets for solo with orchestra are available (rental). \u003ca href=\"mailto:library@joannkanemusic.com\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eClick here for information and to receive a quote.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hal Leonard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53483713397054,"sku":"04490844","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/1396\/9982\/files\/04490844-wl_c0042c4e-cd63-4dd1-8e72-8cbabe427d68.jpg?v=1778797747","url":"https:\/\/themusiciansclub.net\/products\/elegy-for-cello-and-orchestra-john-williams","provider":"The Musicians Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
