Good q's, yet again!

No

25. did he win the Pulitzer more than once?

Yes

Just that one question to confirm the name of the composer, and you're done.

[bignaf]

Barber?

if not, Piston?

if not, Menotti?

[navneeth]

Naf, I think that's the first time I've seen you submit multiple questions.

26. Yes, it's Barber.

[bignaf]

is it an arrangement of a very famous piece?

[navneeth]

27. is it an arrangement of a very famous piece?

Yes, Yes, Yes

[bignaf]

agnus dei/lamb of god for SATB chorus, optional piano. arranged from the Adagio for Strings.

[bignaf]

27 questions for what is essentially Barber's Adagio! wow! a simple change of medium can wreck havoc.

[navneeth]

...that's right.

I haven't heard the Adagio as much as Agnus Dei (which would about 4 times), but it's one of my favourite 20th century works.

Adagio has been used in the movies, as Adagio and not as the choral work(based on a search thru' Wikipedia, IMDB and not a very extensive googling).
Also, I've seen it listed as 'for Chorus and Organ/Piano', and hence the ambiguity in a couple of answers.

[bignaf]

film music should only refer to music written specifically for films. otherwise it gets out of hand. Beethoven's 5th is a ballet, and also a film, and also a symphony? no.

[Catmando]

I need to get the Adagio for strings by Barber. Love it!

*ignaf! *ignaf! *ignaf! (to the tune of Marsha! Marsha! Marsha!)

Music composed for or used in a motion picture?

That's what Cat asked me.

[bignaf]

tricky question Cat, it'll probably mislead you more often than help you.
