Marlboro Month: Barber
08/09/11 8:00AM
Matthew Arnold's darkly evocative Victorian poem "Dover Beach" has
inspired cultural references in everything from Ray Bradbury's
"Farenheit 451" to Joseph Heller's "Catch-22". It inspired Samuel Barber
too, and in 1931 he created a musical setting of the poem. This morning
we'll hear Barber's "Dover Beach" in a live performance from last
year's Marlboro Music Festival.
