Symphony No. 9 in E minor “From the New World”, Op. 95 by Antonin Dvořák
Composed in 1893 while Dvořák was working as director of the National Conservatory of Music in America. The work is in four movements: • Adagio - Allegro molto • Largo • Molto vivace • Allegro con fuoco
The Largo section has been adapted into the song “Goin’ Home” which is sometimes mistakenly believed to be a folk song, but is entirely the composition of Dvořák. Neil Armstrong took a recording of the symphony with him on the Apollo 11 mission.
