At the heart of this programme is Samuel Barber’s masterpiece, *Knoxville: Summer of 1915*, a poignant setting of a prose poem by James Agee. Composed shortly after World War II, Barber’s work presents a child’s view of life and loss in rural America, juxtaposing the beauty of a safe and loving world with the underlying tragedy of its potential loss.
