| God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. --I John 1:5 |
One of your Head Trucker's all-time favorites, which speaks to me of spiritual things. I would like to have this piece played at my funeral one day. It is performed here by the Vienna Philharmonic, Gustavo Dudamel conducting, in the gardens of the Schönbrunn Palace on June 20, 2019.
The Adagio was written by American composer Samuel Barber (1910-1981) in 1936; thirty years later, he used the music for his choral arrangement of the Angus Dei. He was partnered with the composer Gian Carlo Menotti (1911-2007) for more than forty years.
