Elegy 101 or, Vaughan Williams Goes to the Disco
“I Am a Camera,” by Buggles. I'm a sucker for the huge suspended fifths in the final section, reminiscent of Vaughan Williams. I think this one beats the Yes version of it, with its by turns haunting and sinister melancholy. This is what I use to teach the basic concept of elegy. Sorry about the video quality, which is not “in sync” as promised, very much...nevertheless, it's good to see what Horn was visualizing.
