Threnody is a solo for clarinet and is a movement that is part of a larger chamber ballet. It is the most intimate movement where Zanni, an immigrant, mourns their friend who is shot by a border agent. Threnody is piece written on reflection of some of the most tragic atrocities that have occurred in the legal grey area of country borders. It is hard for many to receive justice along the border; the work is a quiet repose in the memory of those lost.
