For me it is interpreted differently. I see it as the almost sad peace that comes after forgiving yourself and letting go. Being able to move on as you stare behind you realizing how much you missed because of your choices. Regardless you are happy, the choices you made allowed you a good life after it all.
"No matter who we are, how rich we are or how poor, no matter the colour of our skin or our sexual orientation. It doesn't matter if we are short or tall, fat or thin, at the end of the day there is only one true certainty - that our lives can end at any time, anywhere. For all of our differences we all have one thing in common - We all die eventually. We all fade into forgotten memories" - Reina Beaumont I love this piece of music, it has so much emotion in it.

She is in heaven. Holy Kuran says that. I am happy for her, and God gives you patience. In my culture, we say like that for those who lost their relative
i agree i am 58 years old and it seems we have lost something ,respect for each other, respect for ourselves it seems there is no accountability today no one cares.
Is there anyone who can listen to this without crying? Because I can't. It's great how music can describe so much emotion with just a sound... The sound of music.
To the memory of my beloved mother Barbara Lily Barboza who took everything in stride and loved me and forgave me for the damage I caused through my addiction. God has a remarkable angel at his side. I miss you mum. Love your kid.
I can totally relate to you Barbara. Got sober in 1989 & my mom died in 2015 A few days before she passed she told me “you getting sober was the greatest gift you ever gave me as well as taking care of her while she battled pancreatic cancer” Here’s to our mom’s, may they RIP 🙏🏻🌹
'The most can be said without words, for what words can not say music can portray with emotion and depth. As long as that music has the emotion within it anyway' Such a beautiful, haunting, mesmerising piece of music.
i've never understood people who called this beautiful piece - sad. it's not sad. yes, the melody is going down but then... up and up, till eternity. it's like a silk cloth waving in the warm and calm wind. down and up then. over and over. i suppose, it's full of hope and wipes tears away. it's so... life-like melody.
It's simply amazes me that a composition like this, or any other for that matter, can draw out such emotion from us. I sincerely believe that music is the language that God speaks and pieces like this are just hints of what we will hear in heaven.

O most sacred heart of Jesus, grieved to tears at the blindness and iniquities of men. Jesus prayed because His soul was troubled unto death. [Hebr. 5,7] 🖤
Esta canción me hace viajar a otra dimensión, me hace llegar al nirvana, siento tristeza pero también me hace sentir feliz.. Me hacen venir historias felices de mi vida.. Que grande es la vida..
Mark... I hear you, and this undoubtedly a melancholic piece of music but it's beautiful music. A little advice from a young man of 60... watch a little less of the depressive papers and news and concentrate on the beauty that surrounds us, the beauty of compassion in people and all that is good in our world, there is a lot of it, if one looks at it with a 'glass half full' perspective! Have a lovely peaceful Sunday! :)
WOW! I can hardly believe the power of this exquisite music....remarkably inspired....U-Tube continues to change my life.....no more conventional TV for me.....
Thanks for the post, and the accompanying visuals. I'm in deep mourning for a friend I lost suddenly 2 weeks ago after 33 sumptuous years, and this gave me a chance to be teary for the first time and recall the glories of art and nature we shared, and that sense that life renews, no matter what. (He loved Barber's music, too.) I hope this helps others over the hurdles.
This is definitely a "close your eyes and just listen" masterpiece. However, Hajul Ellah, you did a wonderful job of putting together a slideshow that is very meaningful and deserving of this beautiful music. Thank you so much for this video!
Johnson...he was so young! He was only 21 years old!...god damnit...why, Why take his life and not mine, He had a beautiful wife and child waiting for him!!!!...I have nothing!
In questo brano... meraviglioso e struggente, i violini hanno davvero... un'anima! Un'anima che sembra voler raccontare tutto il dolore e tutta la tristezza del mondo, una tristezza tuttavia priva di acredine, quasi rassegnata...che non impedisce di trovare, attraverso le immagini che accompagnano il video, grazia e bellezza anche nella tristezza della Natura quando impera il gelido inverno! Grazie per averlo caricato. Buona giornata. Antonella
i have heard this piece many times, but never in a beautiful montage like this. It reminds me of all the beauty in the world and how I yearn for it to envelope my soul
Two heart stopping moments for me 1 The closing credits to the movies PLATOON which including this Haunting melody 2. A long ago visit to a local Wax Museum where they had a portrail of Christ on The Cross and AGAIN this Piece playing in the background. Talk about getting choked up and almost falliing to my knees.
It is incredible how the movies and media impact in our conciences. Listening this piece while whatching last scene of Platoon or any TV show showing a tragedy with lot of deaths do not necessarily mean that this song is sad. It is simply a wonderful master piece that provokes a reaction. Is it not beatiful? Is it not enough to love it? Our ears have to support thousands of songs every single day that mean nothing to us. So let's appreacite its beauty and think about power of life while listen
This is an epical piece of art. How can you put so much emotion en different emotions in one piece....? Everytime I hear this I'm touched and impressed.
I cant breath - my heart stopped at least 5 times just listening to this!....this is an amazing piece....Only Albinoni's adagio can possibly compare....LOVED IT
I served in a conflict a bush war - the images of Platoon - staff sergeant Barnes betrayal of sergeant Elias makes me think back to my own conflict. A beautiful piece of music whichever way you swing it...
Wow, this music starts off so soft i can barely hear it, and then becomes so loud that i have to turn the volume down again...this song is so heart-wrenching that i almost cry :)...
I first heard this piece of music in the film Elephant Man, when he had decided to end his life by lying down to sleep, I sobbed my heart out, and still do when I hear it. This is going to be played at my funeral, no bouncy happy music for me, this is gonna make the mourners cry, and then maybe they will all realise that I too had a heart and a love for all things beautiful! I love this piece, it's amazing. Thank you Samuel Barber.
Dopo l'ennesimo ascolto del brano continuo a pensare come è possibbile che al mondo esistano esseri umani che creano meraviglie simili, e altre che riescono a distruggere quanto di più bello l'altissimo abbia creato!!!!!!!!!
I heard this piece played by young musicians at Carnegie Hall and tears started coming down because the night before I went to the 9/11 memorial and it reminded me of all the people that were in that situation. That's a day I won't forget.
The movie Platoon was my first exposure to this extraordinary work, it also took me back to Viet Nam and strangely reminded me of the mood swings following a major firefight. It was a time to reflect on what happened. It was horror beyond anything I could ever have imagined. The noise, the screams, the sounds of battle has left me but the memories will always be there. This beautiful piece of music takes all those horrible moments away and soothes my soul. It's like as a child you have a nightmare and your Mom comes in and stroke your head telling you not to worry it was just a bad dream. Then it is alright and you go back to sleep.
This kind of music is darker and more emotional. I like to use it when I write, it helps me convey certain aspects that I would have no doubt missed without it.
@@edwardhyd3 Certainly that and the seeds of the Depression that would consume him later in life. Many say the happy period of his life when he wrote this happy with his lover was a frantic effort on his part to put off This description of his true self.
Thank you Warren. Your music-video moves into the realm of art. Your timing of the flowers in the 6-7 minute range is breath-taking. Thank you. I have watched this many times and continue to see new things, new timing transitions, new life each time. Just lovely. Thank you for your work in soothing a soul. Diana
Barber, Both somber with hints of joy. restrained subdued tones that build into moments of great tension followed by release..The music is soothing, serene and uplifting.
Love it. If you do not like this, or appreciate it would be a better choice in word. Go dig a hole, in a rainy country. Then live in said hole until you appreciate this. Music now means nothing, once upon a time music meant something. This itself has been in several movies and games and has not lost its meaning.
gorgeous work of art and music. Samuel Barber is a God! I'm only 14 and I can understand the beautiful story through his music. Music like this only makes me believe in God and heaven even more than I already do!
despair not, my friend. From the ruins of an ancient sickness, (now coming to full fruition) a new way is rising... if we have the courage to face it. The fact that such music can still move you to tears means all is not lost.
Barber was a closeted gay man, at a period in US history when being openly gay meant being a despised pariah, subject to being fired from one's job, eviction from one's home, and an outcast from society, not to mention being tortured and murdered by anyone who took it into their head to do so, with the tacit (and sometimes not so tacit) approval of law enforcement and the judicial system. Barber was blessed with a lifelong romantic relationship with the composer Gian-Carlo Menotti, but due to the aforementioned dangers, the couple were never able to celebrate their love openly. I have often wondered if the Adagio for strings were Barber's expression of his sadness at the injustice of his situation.
Perhaps part but this song is not a rage against injustice it reaches to all sadness not just not his own. Yes the sadness of his life but not the harms of his life, yes the sadness of not being able to be open but not the anger against that. And thus the song transcends the issues that just affected his life. Just like when played in Platoon the song deals with the death not the tragedy of the war.
1ls376 the human being is a very deep creature, made up of specific feelings and thoughts to create a conscious and social being. These feelings vary from sadness, happiness, anger, etc.. we’re genetically programmed to feel these things and when something gives us so much of one of these, it becomes very beautiful and articulate, that it becomes something more than that feeling. It becomes you and therefore you chase it because it is truly beautiful.
This work makes us all torn, lost and full of hope and crying. MAN stop yor destruction NON PLEASE FOR MY DISABLED DAUGHTER-ROSE WHO SUFRES FROM THE WORLDS PLOUTION. STOP NOW SO SHEE CAN HAVE A FEW YEARS OF LIFE, PLEASE
Samuel Barber is what they call a one-piece-composer. His Adagio for strings is that one piece. It is pleasant, quite conventional and has a streak of sentimentality. There are commentators who put him on the same level with Mahler or Richard Strauss. Utter nonsense!
This song is the physical manifestation of “I won... But at what cost?...”
For me it is interpreted differently.
I see it as the almost sad peace that comes after forgiving yourself and letting go.
Being able to move on as you stare behind you realizing how much you missed because of your choices.
Regardless you are happy, the choices you made allowed you a good life after it all.
Won.......won what? It's the season's life, same as U/me
LEO's...... undifferentiated
Did NOT miss a thing!......just another phase in/of life!
To everything there is a season......a time to cry, a time to laugh...etc but if U reached thus far, it's true GRACE!

This is definitely a "I can listen to this all day and night" song. Such a masterpiece.
Imagine what Barber was capable of feeling for him to be able to bring this through!
He did it for humankind.....
never heard a piece of music that can evoke such emotion as this does
i agree i am 58 years old and it seems we have lost something ,respect for each other, respect for ourselves it seems there is no accountability today no one cares.
You're right. It's broken and can't be fixed. 😢
Possibly THE GREATEST piece of music EVER !
The use of tension and relief in this piece is genius.
Can't stop crying while listening to this masterpiece
Is there anyone who can listen to this without crying? Because I can't.
It's great how music can describe so much emotion with just a sound... The sound of music.
Great that U still have emotions!
No 😭
Your war memories come alive when this music plays.
Even if you've never been to war.
this type of music is so underated today in society it makes me sad
it takes my breath away. i think this is the music that's played in heaven.
Heaven.....is NOW!
Brings tears every time I listen to it.
If you like this music, I recommend you "Quimper 94" by Yann Tiersen. It will probably bring you to tears as well.
Adagio means "slowly" in Italian
And it really shows in this piece

LOL...i needed that....and it's all in slow motion...
This song always takes me back to the platoon.
im torn between very peaceful, or very sad, but very beautiful
I'd go with the very sad, I heard his struggle wirth coming to terms with his sexuality is what inspired it.
Edward Crowden I was going to reference homeworld as evidence of the sadness, you make me feel like a horrible person
@@edwardhyd3 Certainly that and the seeds of the Depression that would consume him later in life. Many say the happy period of his life when he wrote this happy with his lover was a frantic effort on his part to put off This description of his true self.
Fighting back the feels... its not working... here come the tears :/
Thank you Warren. Your music-video moves into the realm of art. Your timing of the flowers in the 6-7 minute range is breath-taking. Thank you. I have watched this many times and continue to see new things, new timing transitions, new life each time. Just lovely. Thank you for your work in soothing a soul. Diana

Me gusta todo tipo de musica,pero no tenia oido para la selestial,hoy llegue al CIELO infinitas gracias, por estos inmensos instantes
Barber,
Both somber with hints of joy. restrained subdued tones that build into moments of great tension followed by release..The music is soothing, serene and uplifting.
Isto é fantástico, maravilhoso ....
Love it. If you do not like this, or appreciate it would be a better choice in word. Go dig a hole, in a rainy country. Then live in said hole until you appreciate this. Music now means nothing, once upon a time music meant something. This itself has been in several movies and games and has not lost its meaning.
My heart hears this song continually as I read the papers, watch the news, see our great nation fall...and I weep as an old, old man...of 53...
What a master piece of Samuel Barber. I loved this even before 11/09 which made this known.
gorgeous work of art and music. Samuel Barber is a God! I'm only 14 and I can understand the beautiful story through his music. Music like this only makes me believe in God and heaven even more than I already do!
The most beautiful music on earth!
legit chills every time i hear this.
Siempre lloro al escucharlo, creo que llega muy muy adentro de mi corazón ¡hermoso!
The most beautiful thing to come out of America.
despair not, my friend. From the ruins of an ancient sickness, (now coming to full fruition) a new way is rising... if we have the courage to face it.
The fact that such music can still move you to tears means all is not lost.
Favorite piece of Orchestral music
Thank you Johnny and Michael Thiess... this is the best gift you ever gave me.
This masterpiece is a panacea healing every mental sick
This very moving piece is such a compliment to that scene in the movie Platoon. It's haunting
and so memorible I can't hear enough.
Barber was a closeted gay man, at a period in US history when being openly gay meant being a despised pariah, subject to being fired from one's job, eviction from one's home, and an outcast from society, not to mention being tortured and murdered by anyone who took it into their head to do so, with the tacit (and sometimes not so tacit) approval of law enforcement and the judicial system. Barber was blessed with a lifelong romantic relationship with the composer Gian-Carlo Menotti, but due to the aforementioned dangers, the couple were never able to celebrate their love openly. I have often wondered if the Adagio for strings were Barber's expression of his sadness at the injustice of his situation.
That's a good question , thank you .
Perhaps part but this song is not a rage against injustice it reaches to all sadness not just not his own. Yes the sadness of his life but not the harms of his life, yes the sadness of not being able to be open but not the anger against that. And thus the song transcends the issues that just affected his life. Just like when played in Platoon the song deals with the death not the tragedy of the war.
If this piece of music makes me sad, why do I keep listening?
Welcome to self-inflicted sadness.
1ls376 the human being is a very deep creature, made up of specific feelings and thoughts to create a conscious and social being. These feelings vary from sadness, happiness, anger, etc.. we’re genetically programmed to feel these things and when something gives us so much of one of these, it becomes very beautiful and articulate, that it becomes something more than that feeling. It becomes you and therefore you chase it because it is truly beautiful.
this music is full of feeling stirs the emotions very expressive
It's beautiful. Even though it's sad, one cannot help but listen to this masterpiece.
Une des plus belles musiques du monde ! à chaque fois transportée quand je l'écoute, je pars, je vole...et votre vidéo est superbe ! merci
I love this Music !
It send me to the Angels...
This work makes us all torn, lost and full of hope and crying. MAN stop yor destruction NON PLEASE FOR MY DISABLED DAUGHTER-ROSE WHO SUFRES FROM THE WORLDS PLOUTION. STOP NOW SO SHEE CAN HAVE A FEW YEARS OF LIFE, PLEASE
Samuel Barber is what they call a one-piece-composer. His Adagio for strings is that one piece. It is pleasant, quite conventional and has a streak of sentimentality. There are commentators who put him on the same level with Mahler or Richard Strauss. Utter nonsense!
