Dvorak Symphony No. 9, "From the New World"

Within three months of his arrival in New York, Antonin Dvorak
was enamored with the sound of American music. Quickly he put
forth what was at the time a controversial idea: "In the Negro
melodies of America I discover all that is needed for a great and
noble school of music..." This inspiration is threaded through
almost every note of the New World Symphony, with a healthy dose
of Dvorak's Bohemian roots and Germanic tradition as well! Join
us as we explore this legendary masterpiece from every angle.
