The term “adagio” comes directly from Italian, in which it is two words, “ad agio,” meaning “at ease.” While it’s most often used as an adjective or adverb, describing how a piece of music is played, “adagio” can also function as a noun, naming a slow-paced musical composition. One of the most famous musical adagios, “Adagio in G Minor,” was discovered in recent years to have been written not by assumed composer Tomaso Albinoni in the 1800s, but instead by modern composer Remo Giazotto. The slow-paced adagio music has served as the backdrop for films including “Manchester by the Sea,” “Rollerball,” and “Flashdance,” in addition to numerous TV commercials and musical remixes.
