  • Barber–String Quartet
    Samuel Barber (b. West Chester, PA, March 9, 1910; d. New York, NY, January 23, 1981) String Quartet, op. 11 (1936) Composed: 1936 Approximate duration: 16 minutes Since accompanying the radio announcement of President Franklin Roosevelt’s death in 1945, Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings has stood as arguably the most iconic work of American classical repertoire. As a compositional feat, the Adagio is nothing short of a minor miracle: melodically and harmonically concise, emotionally devastating. It epitomizes the fervent lyricism and expressive immediacy that have established Barber among the twentieth century’s most venerated American musical figures. While frequently performed in Barber’s version for string orchestra, the Adagio less often appears in its original form, as the second movement (marked Molto adagio) of his String Quartet, op. 11, composed in 1936. (Barber, nota bene, recognized what he had accomplished; on September 19 of that year, he wrote to the cellist Orlando Cole, “I have just finished the slow movement of my quartet today—it is a knockout! Now for a Finale.”) Yet its presentation in the context of the three-movement Quartet affords the listener a special opportunity. Played by just two violins, viola, and cello, the Adagio’s breathless lines burn with an intimate intensity muted by the quiet army of orchestral strings. Furthermore, framed by the Quartet’s outer movements—the angular Molto allegro e appassionato, and the concluding reprise of the first movement’s material—the ubiquitous slow movement takes on a more nuanced significance. For prefaced by the angular dissonance of the opening movement, the Adagio emerges as a response to worldly strife.

(Winners had not yet been announced at the time of the program guide’s printing.) He also serves as workshop director for the Nashville Symphony’s Composer Lab & Workshop. • The title of his latest symphony, “Chromelodeon,” comes from an unusual word previously used by maverick American composer Harry Partch to describe one of his musical inventions. As defined by the composer, this word aptly describes his own creation here: “chromatic, colorful, melodic music performed by an orchestra.” • The idea of color is especially significant in Kernis’ work, as the composer has synesthesia, a condition that associates specific notes and chords and with distinct colors.

  • Narrating the Lives of Saints and Sinners in Samuel Barber's Hermit
    1 NARRATING THE LIVES OF SAINTS AND SINNERS IN SAMUEL BARBER’S HERMIT SONGS Jennifer A. Konowal Honors Thesis Dr. Daniel Kazez May 13, 2015 2 The solitary, peaceful life of a hermit resonated with Samuel Barber. The theme of solitude appears in some of his works, including the Hermit Songs and Despite and Still, and many of the places where he gathered inspiration or retreated to for comfort were removed from society.1 A cottage in the Pocono Lake Reserve provided Barber with a sanctuary, a home of rest, during the mid-1900s, and it was called The Hermit.2 Even though Barber told his uncle in a letter that he was not actually a hermit, the concept of hermitage clearly appealed to the quieter part of his mind and soul.3 In November of 1952, Samuel Barber wrote to his uncle and role model Sidney Homer to announce that he had found a few early Irish poems that he planned to set to music.4 His interest in these poems was the result of a recent trip to Donegal, Ireland, which he had taken to explore some of the places associated with his favorite Irish authors, such as William Butler Yeats and James Joyce.5 An admirer of Irish poetry since his childhood, Barber told his uncle that he found the poems he had discovered to be “very direct, unspoiled and often curiously contemporaneous in feeling.”6 They were written by Irish monks and scholars in the 8th through 13th centuries in the margins of various types of manuscripts that were being illuminated or copied, and, because they were in Gaelic, Barber had to locate—and, in a few cases, commission—translations into English that he found suitable for his work.7 These poems represented a wide variety of subjects, 1 Barbara Heyman, Samuel Barber: The Composer and His Music (New York: Oxford University Press), 335.

  • Chambermusic
    American Masterpieces Chamber Music Samuel Barber, circa 1960 The Some of the composer’s best-known Chamber works for small ensemble, written in his youth, entered the repertoire early and remained there. Music of by Barbara Heyman oncert audiences know Samuel Barber for his large-scale orchestral works—the Overture to The School for Scandal, Cthe violin and cello concertos, Knoxville: Summer of 1915, the symphonies, and the three Essays. His chamber music oeuvre is small, but some of these works remain favorites in the repertoire. String players revere the String Quartet in B Minor, Dover Beach, and the Cello Sonata. And wind players know that Barber’s penchant for writing solos for flute, clarinet, and oboe (his signature instrument) Samuel in orchestral works also expresses itself in such small-scale works as Summer Music, Capricorn Concerto, and the 1959 Elegy for Flute and Piano. In recent years I have been assembling a complete thematic catalog of Barber’s works, and in the process have come across some early, unpublished ensemble works that few are familiar with. Among these, the most important is certainly the third movement of Barber’s Sonata in F minor for Violin and Piano, rediscovered in 2006. Masquerading under the title page Sonata for Violoncello and Piano, the music turned up in the estate of the Barber Pennsylvania artist Tom Bostell, who had been a boarder in the Barber family’s West Chester, Pennsylvania, home. When asked to view the 17 pages of manuscript, I recognized the first three pages as those that were missing from the autograph manuscript of the Cello Sonata at the Library of Congress.

His early childhood corresponded in uncanny ways to that of his British contemporary, composer Benjamin Britten. Both grew up in well­ to-do families who were eventually supportive of their musical talents, with V mothers who were amateur musicians themselves and fathers who were in the field of medicine. Both boys received early piano lessons, and created their own compositions by the time they started to school. Barber's maternal aunt was the Metropolitan Opera contralto Louise Homer. His uncle, the composer Sidney Homer, primarily a songwriter, served as Barber's mentor for many years. At the age of fourteen, Barber entered the Curtis Institute in its inaugural year (1924).

AGENCY AND THE ADAGIO: MIMETIC ENGAGEMENT IN BARBER’S OP. 11 QUARTET* MATTHEW BAILEYSHEA amuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings (1936) is undoubtedly the best-known elegiac work of S the twentieth century. It was an immediate hit with its first performance by Toscanini in 1938 and its fame has grown ever since. We know it from movies, television, state funerals, and highly publicized memorial services.1 It is, quite simply, Barber’s most enduring music.2 It goes without saying, then, that the Adagio works as a stand-alone piece; nobody could deny that it presents a complete, coherent artistic statement.
