From Stringquartet op. 11. Composed by Samuel Barber. Arranged by Ton van Grevenbroek. Full set. Molenaar Edition #013342050. Published by Molenaar Edition (ML.013342050).

Adagio for Strings is one of the most well-known and loved pieces from Samuel Barber. Barber himself, arranged the 2nd movement of his first string quartet for string orchestra. By popular demand, Ton van Grevenbroek has arranged this wonderful piece for concert band. The slow musical lines and the minor key make the Adagio truly one of the saddest pieces of music ever composed. This song is even more famous due to the movie Platoon by Oliver Stone.
