A threnody is a song, hymn or poem of mourning composed or performed as a memorial to a dead person. The term originates from the Greek word ''threnoidia'', from ''threnos'' "wailing" and ''oide'' "ode",〔''The Oxford Companion to Music'' (2010)〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 the latter ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European root *''wed-'' ("to speak") that is also the precursor of such words as "ode", "tragedy", "comedy", "parody", "melody" and "rhapsody". Synonyms include "dirge", "coronach", "lament" and "elegy". The ''Epitaphios Threnos'' is the lamentation chanted in the Eastern Orthodox Church on Holy Saturday. John Dryden commemorated the death of Charles II of England in the long poem ''Threnodia Augustalis'', and Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote a "Threnody" in memory of his son.〔''Grove Music Online'' (2010)〕 ==Examples of threnody== *Jan Kochanowski's "Laments (Kochanowski)" *Krzysztof Penderecki's ''Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima'' *Peter H.
