Knoxville: Summer of 1915

Samuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915, written in 1947, performed here by Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra with Maria Valdes, soprano recorded in Santa Monica in November 2016.


 The words are adapted from a deliberately improvisational reminiscence by James Agee, an impressionistic remembrance of his life the summer before the death of his father in an automobile accident when he was six.
