  1. 1

    A threnody is a song or poem written to mourn someone who has died. It is not any sad music — it is a piece MADE for grief, performed or read as a way of crying in public. The word is formal and literary; you meet it in music reviews, poetry criticism, and titles of serious pieces of classical music, almost never in speech. Writers also stretch it a little: a book or film can be called a threnody for a lost city, a dead way of life, a vanished generation — anything mourned. Close words differ in a useful way. An elegy is usually a sad poem, often about death but sometimes just about loss or the past. A is a SPEECH praising the dead, usually at the funeral, and it is often warm rather than dark. A requiem is a church service or the music for it. Threnody is the most purely mournful of the four — it is the wailing one.

    輓歌、哀歌（為死者所作的詩或樂曲）
