C.L. Barnhouse Goin' Home (Largo from the New World Symphony) - Dvorak/Romeyn - Concert Band - Gr. 3

Composer: Antonin Dvorak
Arranger: Rob Romeyn
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 3

Antonin Dvorak first premiered his "New World Symphony" at Carnegie Hall in December of 1893 with the goal to bring American musical sensibility to European classical music. The second movement, labeled Largo, contained the melody that would later be identified as "Goin' Home". This well-crafted adaptation of that beautiful melody for concert band contains all the elements of the original orchestral version that has moved orchestral concert patrons for over a century. Expert scoring and careful orchestration techniques will ensure success with all ensembles. We think this outstanding arrangement will become a concert band classic for many years to come. Our highest recommendation!
