Mournful and passionate, and possibly one of the most recognisable pieces of classical music in the world. Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei is a choral arrangement of his own Adagio for Strings. It's performed here by the perfectly blended vocals of VOCES8, one of Britain’s leading a cappella groups. Mindful Mix at the Proms explores the universal, timeless themes of night, stillness and prayer through the lens of composers old and new.
