Sure on This Shining Night

Arguably America's most notable art song, Samuel Barber's masterwork has been brilliantly arranged in this edition for strings by John Moss. Written for voice in 1938 and based on text by noted poet James Agee, Barber's music is highly emotional, a quality apparent in this skilled setting for strings. With solo parts for violin and viola, this edition is a superb opportunity to teach 20th century music at its very best.
