Barber, Samuel (1910 - 1981) Samuel Barber is widely known for his famous Adagio for Strings, the slow movement of a string quartet he wrote in 1936. Born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1910, he was one of the first students at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, where he studied piano, conducting, singing and composition. Awards allowed subsequent study in Rome. He taught briefly at the Curtis Institute, but soon withdrew, sharing a house with his former fellow student Menotti. His music remained neo-romantic in idiom, although not without contemporary influences. Orchestral Music The Adagio for Strings was arranged for string orchestra from the slow movement of Barber's string quartet of 1936 and played in this form by the NBC Symphony Orchestra under Toscanini in New York two years later, in a programme that included his first Essay. Other orchestral compositions include an overture, The School for Scandal, which had won him an award in 1933, concertos for violin, for cello and for piano, a Capricorn Concerto for solo wind instruments and two symphonies.

SAMUEL OSBORNE BARBER M usic-making was always a part of Samuel Barber's life, from his earliest years. The nephew of contralto Louise Homer and her husband, the prolific song writer Sidney Homer , Barber had announced his vocation in a note written to his mother at the age of nine: "I was meant to be a composer and will be I'm sure...Don't ask me to try to forget this unpleasant thing and go play footballplease." Samuel Osborne Barber II was born March 9, 1910, in West Chester, PA, the son of a prominent doctor. Young Sam studied piano at six, began composing at seven, served as a church organist while still in his teens, and developed his attractive baritone voice to the point where he entertained the thought of becoming a professional singer. Enrolled in the newly-founded Curtis Institute at fourteen, Barber studied piano with Isabelle Vengerova, composition with Rosario Scalero, singing with Emilio de Gogorza, and conducting with Fritz Reiner and formed a life-long friendship with Giancarlo Menotti, whom he met in 1928 in Philadelphia. Two years of training in Italy after winning the 1935 Prix de Rome and numerous European jaunts helped the emerging composer to shake off the conservative influences of Homer and Scalero and shape his own distinctive musical language. Barber composed a wide range of stage, orchestral, chamber, piano, choral, and vocal works in what he unassumingly insisted was a personal style "born of what I feel..I am not a self-conscious composer." His discipline and use of traditional forms earned him the reputation of a classicist. Virgil Thomson once wrote that Barber was laying to rest the ghost of Romanticism without violence, though in light of the composer's lush lyricism, deft dramatic sense, and inclination toward Romantic poetic sources (especially in his vocal writing), this comment ultimately proved to be off-mark. Throughout his catalogue of works, Barber adhered stubbornly to his own inner voicea voice rich in subtlety and sumptuousness that relied deeply on melody, polyphony, and complex musical texturesall fused with an unerring instinct for graceful proportion and an unabashed affinity for Romantic thought and emotion.

Vanessa by Samuel Barber A plot synopsis of Vanessa can be found at http://www.dc-opera.org/opera/vanessa_synop.htm Recommended recording Washington Post review of ... performance with Kiri Te Kanawa Bernard Holland wrote of the Washington Vanessa in the New York Times of October 30, 2002: "Kiri Te Kanawa has spent a long, prosperous career riding the surfaces of important roles. At this stage the part of Vanessa must hit home in several ways, and the powers of identification work to her advantage. The voice remains absolutely beautiful, with few if any scars of age. But it remained for the evening's Erika, a splendid young soprano named Lucy Schaufer, to provide 'Vanessa' with the necessary heat." The June 30, 2001, performance of Vanessa by Des Moines Metro Opera received a very favorable review from Robert C. Fuller in the Des Moines Register , July 2, 2001. In Le Monde of February 17, 2001 , appeared a review in French by Renaud Machart of a performance of Vanessa at Monte Carlo starring Kiri Te Kanawa.

Samuel Barber Of That so Sweet Imprisonment Strings in the Earth and Air In the Dark Pinewood Three Songs, Op. 10 Nuvoletta Solitary Hotel Now I have Fed and Eaten up the Rose Fadograph of a Yestern Scene Samuel Barber (1910-1981) A great twentieth century Romantic, Samuel Barber was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania to musical parents, and would slowly evolve his own unique musical voice as he travelled the world and surrounded himself with poets, musicians, and art enthusiasts. A compositional perfectionist and a consummate tunesmith, Barber had the unique talent of aborbing every style the twentieth century had to offer, seamlessly integrating them into his work and always retaining control of his lyrical vision. He could craft melodies of haunting beauty without pandering to cheap sentimentality; he could create pieces of disturbing dislocation without turning the reins over to chaos; and his music could sound ironical and witty without resorting to cynicism or gimmickry. Unfortunately his popularity waned after the sixties, and he died believing that his star had fallen. Today Barber is best known for his Adagio for Strings
