Dvorak Largo from New World Symphony ("Goin Home")
Dvorak wrote his Symphony #9 "From the New World" in 1893 while he was director of the National Conservatory of Music in America. The third "Largo" movement is based on African-American motifs, but it was not an actual Negro spiritual as many people think. Dvorak's student William Arms Fisher took Dvorak's existing theme, added new lyrics, and released it as the song "Goin' Home". This arrangement is based on the original score from Dvorak's symphony.
This composition can be played by 2 different combinations of instruments.
A few notes on the parts and instruments:
- The standard ("std") parts are the original parts and are designed to be played together.
- The alternate "a" parts, if present, are raised one octave (8va) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the higher instruments listed. They should work as long as they are above the other parts.
- The alternate "b" parts, if present, are lowered one octave (8vb) and can be substituted for a standard part to accommodate the lower instruments listed. They should work as long as they are below the other parts.
- For example, using parts 1, 2, and 3 together is definitely ok. Using parts 1a, 2, and 3b together is probably ok. Using parts 1b, 2, and 3a together might not work well.
- Part ranges are listed in concert key, where C4 is middle C.
