I was wondering what a threne was
n. 1. Lamentation; threnody; a dirge.
The threns . . . of the prophet Jeremiah.
- Jer. Taylor.
I can imagine that there are no serene threnes then.

Odd coincidence--I heard this word used at a funeral this weekend to describe the music.
Other than reading the word, it's the only time I can recall actually hearing it used.

I must expand my circle of acquaintances...so many of their sentences begin with "Hold my beer and watch this..."

No doubt there is a website out there with threning audio broadcasts.
