Otis Redding version[edit] Aretha Franklin had covered the song in 1962 for her LP The Tender, the Moving, the Swinging Aretha Franklin on Columbia Records.

The Saddest Music In The World: 6 Tunes To Make You Teary-Eyed : Deceptive Cadence. iStock Earlier this month, just a few days after the September 11th anniversary, a book called The Saddest Music Ever Written, by Thomas Larson, was published.

Its subtitle is The Story of Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings.' The book not only tells the story of Barber's great masterpiece of melancholy, but also of the composer himself, who, later in life, suffered from alcoholism and depression. A peppy volume, no doubt, and thoughtfully released after the summer beach-reading season.

But seriously, it got me to thinking about the wealth of incredibly sad, incredibly moving music composed over the centuries. Oddly enough, wallowing in such sonic grief can be uplifting. Below is a short list of some of the very finest of the forlorn, the best of the bereaved, and the paramount of the pessimistic. OK, now get out the Kleenex.

“In music one must think with the heart and feel with the brain.” -- GEORGE SZELL October 2008 opens a thought-provoking two-year cycle of lectures and special presentations at the Library of Congress that highlights an explosion of new research on music and the brain. Ten compelling programs in the 2008-9 season feature a diverse lineup of speakers, including neuroscientsts Daniel J. "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast"–and myriad other powers as well. Music can make us weep, and one scientist proposes that it provides great pleasure as it does so.

David Balakrishnan | Mark Summer | Mateusz Smoczynski | Benjamin von Gutzeit “It must have been like this when Beethoven was taking Vienna by storm – the exhilaration of seeing the future of classical music unfold before your eyes and ears.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch Its name derived from creation mythology found in Native American Folklore, the Turtle Island Quartet, since its inception in 1985, has been a singular force in the creation of bold, new trends in chamber music for strings.

Winner of the 2006 and most recently, the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album, Turtle Island fuses the classical quartet esthetic with contemporary American musical styles, and by devising a performance practice that honors both, the state of the art has inevitably been redefined. Cellist nonpareil Yo-Yo Ma has proclaimed TIQ to be “a unified voice that truly breaks new ground – authentic and passionate – a reflection of some of the most creative music-making today.” info@tisq.com.
