Portrait of Samuel Barber

Barber, Samuel

Samuel Barber was born in West Chester in 1910 and died in Manhattan in 1981. Samuel Barber was an American composer. Barber mastered both instrumental and vocal music. His music is still performed and admired all over the world today. Barber’s music was primarily influenced by nine years of composition studies with Rosario Scalero at the Curtis Institute and more than 25 years of study with his uncle, the composer Sidney Homer, and generally eschewed the experimental trends of musical modernism in favor of the traditional harmonic language and formal structure of the 19th century. His musical legacy remains alive worldwide and continues to be received with great interest.
