I’m working on an arrangement of Barber’s Adagio for Strings for concert band. I disagree with elements of Mr. Custer’s interpretation. There are some balance, dynamic, and instrumentation choices that I think my version will improve upon. I hope to create a more authentic arrangement to the original Barber masterpiece.

Camryn Hall My band director bought it last year, but alas, we didn't play it. The clarinet part is wonderful, though. I've played through it a couple times.
