Largo from the New World Symphony. Composed by Antonin Dvorak. Arranged by Romeyn. Concert Band. Extra score. Composed 2023. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-5031-01. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-5031-01). 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!
