meaning
of elegy/elegie
Hi,
I would appreciate it very
much if someone could tell me the proper definition of "Elegy" or
"Elegie" (?)
Thanks!

Re:

Elegy or Elegie means song of lament
or an instrumental composition with that suggestion. Most are
written in minor keys in keeping with the sad element and they also
have fairly slow tempi.

Re:

from an English teacher:
A
lament says "I am so sad because they died!" while an elegy says
"They were so wonderful!(brave,noble, etc.)
