Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
An amazing “Agnus Dei” that started as a piece for strings.
“Agnus Dei” from the 20th-century composer Samuel Barber. The eight singers of VOCES8 perform Samuel Barber's composition of 1967, the setting the Latin lyrics of the “Agnus Dei” to his famous “Adagio for Strings.” The composition has been used often for emotional scenes in film. “Adagio for Strings” can be found in films likeThe Elephant Man, Platoon, and Lorenzo’s Oil.
