New World Symphony, Largo (2nd Movement) Sheet Music 
also known as Symphony No. 9, Op. 95, Aus der Neuen Welt, Symphonie Nr. 9 Sheet Music Artist and Writer: Antonin Dvorak (also known as Antonín Leopold Dvořák) |
The New World Symphony (Symphony No. 9, opus 95, "From the New World")
is one of Antonin Dvorak’s most well-known pieces, and one of the most
popular symphonies of all time. Dvorak wrote The New World Symphony
during his stay in the United States (1892-95), and the main theme of
the second movement (largo) presented here in our sheet music was set
to lyrics by William Arms Fisher as the popular song: Goin' Home. In an
article in the New York Herald (December 15, 1893) Dvořák explained how
Native American music had been an influence on this symphony:
"I have not actually used any of the [Native American] melodies. I have
simply written original themes embodying the peculiarities of the
Indian music, and, using these themes as subjects, have developed them
with all the resources of modern rhythms, counterpoint, and orchestral
color."
The New World Symphony was made famous in the UK by the advert on TV
for Hovis bread, which was curiously directed by Ridley Scott before he
turned to making movies, rather than adverts.
