Lenten Music Journey Day 2: Albinoni's "Adagio"

Today's Lenten piece is "Adagio in G minor" attributed to Tomaso Albinoni:

Albinoni was an Italian Baroque composer who was most famous during his time for writing operas but today we mostly appreciate his instrumental music such as his concertos. 

Adagio in G minor is commonly attributed to composer Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751). 20th century musicologist and biographer Remo Giazotto actually composed it using a fragment manuscript of Albinoni. This piece is most commonly orchestrated for organ and string ensemble but can also be heard with string ensemble alone. I chose this piece because of its mournful and reflective nature. G minor is a key often depicting sadness and repentance.

Peace.
