The effect of "buildup" in this work is understandable given its inspiration: a passage from Virgil about the creation of a river from a small trickle. This excerpt from a 1936 String Quartet gained great fame from a 1938 NBC Symphony recording under Toscanini, and was featured at the funerals of both Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. For ten points, name this arrangement for string orchestra or quartet; the Opus 11 of Samuel Barber.
