"Adagio for Strings" is a track by Dutch DJ Tiësto. It was first released in January 2005 as the fourth single from the album Just Be.A Trance remake of the classical music composition by Samuel Barber, the track takes the melody of the aforementioned piece (which is in 3/4 time) and adapts it into 4/4 time.
Its reception has generally been positive, with Alexander J. Morin writing that Adagio for Strings is "full of pathos and cathartic passion" and that it "rarely leaves a dry eye". [2] The music is the setting for Barber's 1967 choral arrangement of Agnus Dei. It has been called "America's semi-official music for mourning."
