Samual Barber's Adagio (Masterpiece).

I posted this note a while ago.. about how this song was written by a woman.... it is a funny story in a way.. that the lover of Amadeus would write this for his funeral and it would be her husband would play it.. without really knowing we were together. I was her consort... But when I hear it it is like I am stuck in my tomb and still laying there... and the world is leaving me slowly into darkness...

Of course I never attended the funeral I was dead, but I did overhear the chamber ladies gossip about how if Amadeus were dead then we would all wear black from head to toe, they really thought the world of me, even though they weren't allowed to really associate with me, and I also remember them breaking down crying, saying how why doesn't the Lord bring us to heaven so we can just be together forever and listen to his music forever.. I don't want to lose our little man. Thats what they called me their little man around our castle in Scotland. I lived in Scotland by request of the Queen, to be her royal guard through music. So I moved to Scotland around 40 years old. And died about 60. What else do I remember.. well everything really, depends what I want to say... I do remember the feeling in the house towards the end, when they brought in the gowns... it was like the feeling a terminally ill person might feel being measured for a coffin and brought about a depression like death already in me and my family. And when she showed me what music she will be playing, I helped her fix some parts up so they weren't so sad.. like more sunshine coming out of the sunrise on a new day ... its written on the paper.. my handwriting say "in latin of course... "Behove ende dominus garde Supreme Bravo" Meaning behold, the end is nigh but the light wins. "Adaenu Giowa" Finest work to date.
