Elegie Op.36 is a 1922 song cycle for baritone and chamber orchestra by Othmar Schoeck. The cycle consists of 24 German-language settings of Lenau and Eichendorff. The Elegie is the earliest of Schoeck's song-cycles coming after his opera Venus (opera) (1919-21).[1]

At the time that Schoeck wrote his Elegie, its modest instrumentation meant that it was not difficult to program, whereas today, an hour-long cycle with chamber orchestra is seen as too short for an evening's concert and too long for one half of a program.
