Samuel Barber I could never get into. The last time I tried was light years ago (or so it feels).
What I’d like to know is what made Aaron Copeland more acceptable than Gershwin?
I don’t like Aaron Copeland. His music reminds me of a Corn Flake Commercial.
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.
