Adagio for Strings is one of the saddest songs ever written or performed. We should just put loud speakers in the mountains of Afghanistan and play it over and over. I bet the Talibam will just jump off the cliffs. I mean come on. I listen to it and weep almost ever time. Ok maybe not but it is quite heart wrenching.

Adagio for Strings... Barber arranged it for chorus as well - his Agnes Dei.

The human voice has a power of expression no instrument can match. Singing is the gift God gave us, both to praise Him, and as a reason to praise Him.
