Emergence definition

A threnody is a song, hymn or poem of mourning, and emerges from the intersection of mourning, the cultural and social response to loss within family structures, where the emotional and symbolic expressions of grief are shaped by the complex relationships and values of a society, and symphonic-poem, a continuous composition of orchestral music, characterized by a seamless and uninterrupted flow, built on the concepts of rhythm and continuity.
