"After Omar K." is a notable musical composition by American composer William Wallace Gilchrist, who was an influential figure in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Gilchrist, born in 1846 and active until his death in 1916, was a prominent composer, conductor, and educator, contributing significantly to the American choral and orchestral music scene. His works often reflected a blend of European classical traditions with a burgeoning American musical identity.

"After Omar K." is inspired by the poetry of Omar Khayyam, a Persian polymath known for his quatrains, which were popularized in the Western world through Edward FitzGerald's translation, "The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam." This collection of quatrains explores themes of existentialism, the fleeting nature of life, and the pursuit of pleasure, which resonated deeply with many Western artists and composers of the time.

Gilchrist's composition captures the essence of Khayyam's poetry, translating its rich, contemplative mood into a musical form. The piece is characterized by its lush harmonies, intricate melodic lines, and a reflective, almost meditative quality that mirrors the philosophical depth of the original text. Gilchrist's ability to convey complex emotional landscapes through music is evident in "After Omar K.," making it a significant work in his oeuvre.

The composition is typically performed by choral ensembles, often accompanied by an orchestra, and has been praised for its expressive depth and technical sophistication. "After Omar K." stands as a testament to Gilchrist's skill in setting literary works to music, and it continues to be appreciated by audiences and performers alike for its artistic merit and emotional resonance.
