Behind the Score Ep. 3 - Adagio for Strings & Agnus Dei (Samuel Barber) (Patreon)
Content
For our third Behind the Score episode, I'm looking at one of the most famous pieces of American classical music written in the twentieth century...Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. I take you through a bit of history around this work, then we dive into performances (with music notation) of Adagio for Strings (for string orchestra) and Agnus Dei (for unaccompanied choir). (The other version is included as the 2nd movement in the original string quartet setting.) I hope you enjoy!
