Music Set #197 - Barber - Adagio for Strings

(1910-1981)  

String Quartet No.1 - Mvt 2 - Adagio for Strings 








This music piece can be solemn, 
* as sung with mass prayer Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) in Latin

It can be light and heavy: 
* heavy metals added to light it up, and to speed it up!
    
It can be a sad requiem L.  Beside at the funeral of US President FD Roosevelt, it was performed in ...
Funeral procession for FD
mourning those deaths in 911
trailer theme in the Platoon movie 
end theme in the Elephant Man movie - “I am not an animal! I am a human being! I … am … a man!”  Good grief!
