"Adagio for Strings" is a track by Dutch DJ Tiësto. It was first released in January 2005 as the fourth single from the album Just Be. A Trance remake of the classical music composition by Samuel Barber, the track takes the melody of the aforementioned piece (which is in 3/4 time) and adapts it into 4/4 time. In 2013, it was voted by Mixmag readers as the second greatest dance record of all time.[2]
