Agee (1909-1955) was a unique author in that he excelled at many forms: novel (A Death in the Family won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize in 1958)\, film reviews (head critic for a decade at Time)\, Hollywood screenplays (The African Queen)\, and journalism (the classic\, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men). In his early twenties\, Agee was also a poet\, winning the Yale Younger Poets Award for Permit Me Voyage. Since the 1940's\, generations of nationalist-focused composers have found in both his poetry and prose a native gift for passionate sentimentality and anguished tenderness. Join veteran music lecturer Thomas Larson for a multimedia presentation devoted to several musical settings of Agee's work. Chief of these is Samuel Barber's sublime rendering of Agee's lyric essay\, "Knoxville: Summer 1915." Featuring guest artists from the Brooklyn Art Song Society.
