John BrowningAbout
During most of Samuel Barber's life, his conservative, tonal, essentially 19th-century orientation was considered an anachronism, not only by critics but by fellow composers. After all, serialism, indeterminacy, and electronics were the fascinations of the mid-20thcentury avant-garde, not extensions of Romanticism. By the 1970s, American musical style had begun to change: neo-tonality and post-modernism were the buzzwords of the day, and Barber's music now seemed prescient in its foreshadowing of neo-Romanticism. But Barber died in 1981 - depressed, embittered, barely glimpsing the revival of his music that was just around the comer. There never was any schism between composer and audience. In America, only Copland rivalled Barber in placing (and keeping) new works within the mainstream concert repertory.
