The following Text is from Wikipedia.

Samuel Osmond Barber II (9 March 1910 – 23 January 1981) was an American composer of orchestral, opera, choral, and piano music. He is one of the most celebrated composers of the

20th-Century: music critic Donal Henahan stated that "Probably no other American composer

has ever enjoyed such early, such persistent, and such long-lasting, acclaim."

His Adagio for Strings (1936) has earned a permanent place in the concert repertory of orchestras. He was awarded The Pulitzer Prize for Music twice: for his opera Vanessa (1956–1957) and for the Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (1962). Also widely performed is his Knoxville: Summer of 1915 (1947), a setting for soprano and orchestra of a prose text by James Agee. At the time of his death, nearly all of his compositions had been recorded.
