Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings?

Does anyone know where I may be able to find a free or cheap copy of the sheet music for Adagio For Strings by Samuel Barber?
I really want to have a go at this piece- it is one of my personal favorite classical pieces.

I dont know where to find it but I like it too, I played it with out high school orchestra granted we weren't the greatest but our bass section dominated that piece. Its really fun and takes a good amount of musicianship

try jwpepper.com They have all sorts of sheet music, that's where I buy the music for both the high school choir and church choir I direct, as well as my personal stuff.

Ya, whenever I play it with my orchestra I find it hard to stay emotionally involved.

I think you will need to make your own arrangement. This will not be hard to do, and it will be worth it since you really enjoy the music. Just get the pocket score, write out the melody all the way through, and make yourself a piano part from the orchestral accompaniment.

You will have to slog through all the double flats, and since the best indication of harmony will be in the viola part you get to deal with the clef; but I think it would be a great recital piece. For sure, no one else would be playing it!

I have the low C extension on my 150 year old Italian flat-back and love the piece.
