When I heard The Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber I felt like it was moving from a sad moment to a calmer more beautiful moment. Like someone finally crying and facing their emotions and going to the Lord about it. Lifting your hands in praise to the Lord and allowing him to come in and restore your soul. Singing sweet songs of praise to God. When it got louder and higher it was like being overwhelmed and crying out to God because you can't face what you're dealing with alone. The soft part afterward seemed like giving up and still carrying this sadness in the corners of your soul although realizing the beauty and grace and mercy of God.
