	Barber Adagio for Strings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Part of the piece's attraction comes from its dignified timelessness; despite its place in the 20th century, it could be mistaken for renaissance polyphony, due in no small part to the simplicity of structure and harmony that Barber employs.
		The initial ascending phrase of the Adagio is developed as a canon through inversion and repetition; it is expanded and drawn out and has several smaller motifs added to it.
		Part of the emotional mystery of the Adagio for Strings, which in part accounts for the attraction of the piece, is that it conveys both tranquility and grief.

	Northwest Sinfonietta
		The single most famous orchestral work of the 20th Century is almost certainly the Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber (1910-1981).
		Arturo Toscanini first performed the Adagio for Strings with the NBC Symphony Orchestra on 5 November 1938, in a radio broadcast that reached millions of people all across America.
		Though the basic melody is simple, Gershwin wraps it in a lush blanket of strings, accents it with ethereal harmonics, and carries it on a walking pizzicato bass line.

	Classical Net - Barber - Adagio
		Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings amply demonstrates two principles: Some of the greatest ideas are essentially quite simple, and not everything popular is junk.
		He originally wrote it as the second movement of a string quartet in 1936, but within two years arranged it for string orchestra.
		The string quartet version, as you would expect, is intimate and occurs in the context of other movements.

		Adagio is actually from 44-60 Andante is anything from 56-70 Moderato is Like 66-80 But it all depends
		Adagio doesn't have a specifc bpm indication, it's the composer's idea of how the music should FEEL, and the same tempo marking can mean different things to different composers.

	Platoon - Adagio For Strings
		Barber's stunning-in-its-own-right Adagio for Strings was given an entirely new relevance for a whole new generation, through its superb, slow-mo setting in Oliver Stone's 1986 modern classic.
		The score: Samuel Barber's - Adagio for Strings originally arranged in 1938 - is Barber's most popular piece, to the point where he is known almost exclusively for it, at least among the general public.
		The incredible slow-mo images of the touching of a Vietnamese village gave Adagio for Strings an entirely new relevance, with Barber's violins echoing the screams of lost souls and the brutality of war.

	Classical Net Review - Barber - Orchestral Works
		For me, each arrangement of the piece takes on its own character: an intimacy in the string quartet version, an almost Old Testament passion in the version for massed strings.
		The string writing doesn't translate all that well to the voices, and the words seem stuck on, rather than welded to the musical line.
		Harold Gomberg's oboe spins out a beautiful long line at the song theme, and the New York strings somehow manage to raise the emotional stakes in their answer.

	Samuel Barber (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		His intensely lyrical Adagio for Strings has become one of the most recognizable and beloved compositions, both in concerts and films ("Platoon," "The Elephant Man," "El Norte," "Lorenzo's Oil").
		The Adagio for Strings (1936) resembles Vaughan Williams’s Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis.
		We have to guess what he means; the Adagio’s power lies in being a work whose tragic atmosphere is both subjective and universal — it resonates in each of us a personal note of somber thought.

		The DJ Tiesto mix of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings was playing at Tower Records in Mountain View today.
		Then, I found Twiddledee explicitly recognizing the piece and suggesting Adagio was too sad for the event.
		In this context the arpeggios that thread the Adagio take on a new significance, dispersing the rhythmic impulse into an undulation perceived as more languid than insistent; more berceuse- than serenade-like...

		Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings is a powerful piece, packed with emotional intensity yet also extraordinarily listenable--and popular.
		When Barber first created this music as the adagio movement to a string quartet, it took the classical world by storm, and he later created a full orchestral version and a choral version.
		The Tokyo Quartet performs a lovely string version that may be the closest to what Barber originally had in mind.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Tiësto: Adagio for Strings EP
		Depending upon your age and awareness of the world around you, you will identify "Adagio for Strings" as (a) Samuel Barber's timeless classical composition, (b) that song from Platoon, (c) a song from that Olympic record Tiësto did last year, or (d) 33 percent unpronounceable.
		Or rather, it took a special sort of arrogance back in 2000, when William Orbit did it on Pieces in a Modern Style; repeating the same stunt five years later requires near-messianic self-importance and a pair of testicles that routinely set off airport metal detectors.
		In addition to the radio version and the long version, we're treated to a trio of extended mixes.

		The slow, introspective third section, which begins with one of the most raptly beautiful themes I've ever heard, is built up masterfully from piannisimo oboe and string pizzicatos to full orchestra.
		Some of the pieces are strange upon a first listen, but subsequent quiet evenings spent with this CD as a companion, and all is forgiven.
		Even if the other selections are to harsh, buying the CD for Adagio for Strings alone is worth it.

		Outstanding examples include Music for a Scene from Shelley, Symphony No. 1, First Essay for Orchestra, cello sonata, string quartet (from which Barber orchestrated the Adagio for Strings, his best-known piece), the choral classic Reincarnations, and the violin concerto.
		The violin concerto (1939) is a transitional work: the first two movements sing sweetly and intently; the last movement burns the barn down with complex meters and new dissonances.
		The works of the 1940s (most clearly, the Capricorn Concerto for flute, oboe, trumpet, and strings) lean very strongly to neo- classicism.
