Adagio for Strings is a work by Samuel Barber, arguably his best known, arranged for string orchestra from the second movement of his String Quartet, Op. 11.
Barber finished the arrangement in 1936, the same year that he wrote the quartet. It was performed for the first time on November 5, 1938, by Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra in a radio broadcast from NBC Studio 8H. Toscanini also played the piece on his South American tour with the NBC Symphony in 1940.
Its reception was generally positive, with Alexander J. Morin writing that Adagio for Strings is "full of pathos and cathartic passion" and that it "rarely leaves a dry eye." The music is the setting for Barber's 1967 choral arrangement of Agnus Dei. Adagio for Strings has been featured in many TV shows and movies.
In 2004, the BBC listeners called the Adagio for Strings one of «saddest classical work ever».
Adagio for Strings can be heard on many film, televison, and game soundtracks.
In addition, the work was repeatedly used in the works and remixes of other contemporary artists. Known treatments:
Tiësto "Adagio for strings"
Seventh Son & Ethan North "Adagio For Strings"
Era "Adagio for Strings [ERA Version]"
Escala «Adagio for Strings»
Delerium «Eternal Odyssey»
