Barber was known for his string arrangements, and for a good reason. The guy had a sensitive ear for melody, which led to a lot of recognizable motifs in his works. Most of his pieces were composed in a Romantic revivalist style, which was a stark contrast to those of his minimalist and modernist contemporaries.

Got any favorite string arrangements?
