Another one of sad classical moment has been added to my collection.Adagio for strings -Samuel baker.The sound emits strong sentiments.Anguish,sadness,despair and loss,all embrolied in this melodious music.
Barber found initial inspiration in a passage from Vergil's Georgics describing how a rivulet gradually becomes a large river.The music made poular in the Oliver stones classic movie "Platton" that showed how the troops faced despair and challenges in the wartime Vietnam. The music exactly highlights the emotion of men at war and just touches your innermost soul. Get a download of it in the following location
