Musicology:
This brooding song for baritone and string quartet, written in the days preceding World War II, might be taken as an attempt to warn, for it sets with almost miraculous appropriateness one of the grimmest poems of World War I. It is a marvel of lyricism, yet is mysteriously touching throughout. Incidentally, Barber was a well-trained singer and, singing this piece, became perhaps the only classical composer to sing one of his own works on a professional, major-label recording. -
