Always been my favourite piece of music.Happened just this evening on an article in Cambridge books reviews on Dvoraks 1893 sojourn to Spillvile (it was a Chek farming colony in Iowa)and his following with the red eyed vireo.And there is the birdsong buried in plain sight in the Adagio.Nature as savior yet it so works for me.
"It is difficult to determine whether it comes from the typical folk music of the New World or simply from the music of the Czech emigrants, to which Dvořák liked to listen during his stay in the United States. This mix of American influence with Slavic tradition is also perceptible in the rhythm of the "alla Polacca" third movement, and in the last movement's themes native to the Far East.... Dvořák encouraged his pupils to work on their own folk melodies, it was authentic recreation of the popular folk musics that he called for."
Probably the first European to take African American music and put into classical form. He was traveling through the American south and was caught by the black sharecroppers singing in the fields and in their churches. Way ahead of his time.
@@Edude117 I learned this from a very great classical music radio station DJ (KUSC) who was doing a retrospect of Dvorak's life. Dovorak was in America as director of the National Conservatory of Music for a stretch in the 1890's. He was always gathering material from ethnic folk music from both his own country and in America where he wrote his New World symphony
Delius in the Florida Suite did it beautifully before this (before 1890). But that piece was locked away for decades, before Beecham brought it to the world's attention.
A good and well put comment. But it's interesting to note that although Dvorak used rhythms and harmonies from Afro-American culture, he never forgot his Czech roots. This work, and all those written by Dvorak at this time, never finished up sounding anything other than eastern European. Even Michael Tippett in A Child of Our Time didn't achieve it.

@@alaalfa8839 Well done! You are absolutely right. Dvorak was homesick in America and never forget his homeland. Please keep listening to real music, there is so much out there. Good luck and great spot again.
@@alaalfa8839 Sorry to trouble you again, but I was so happy to read your comment because you linked Dvorak with Dvorak. Nothing wrong with that. I get so frustrated reading ridiculous comments from people who say this composer's music sounds like another's. This is completely wrong. Composing music is like a fingerprint. Nobody's are the same, even if people think so. When you pull the music to pieces these comments are always wrong. You may not have a musical education, but you identify so well.
Just beautiful.....and sorry, on the side--- to Audible, I will Never EVER buy anything from a company which would interrupt such a beautiful piece of music, and right at the climax!!
Yo todavía lo tengo grabado de la radio, hace unos casi 24 años atrás, pero ahora me lo bajaré por RUclips. La melodía que la compone es mucho más que extraordinaria.
First heard it from the Daggerfall trailer a long time ago, however I thought it might have been an original OST at the time. Years latter I found Dvorak's New World Symphony while randomly perusing my RUclips and become absolutly hooked on Dvorak's music. Its incredibly beautiful so I got the box set of all of Dvorak's symphonies and orchestral pieces and listened though the American Suit and was flabbergasted. I have also been to see Dvorak's 9th played live. Dvorak's music makes me feel nostalgic and cathardic in a way almost nothing else can.
What a delightful work, engagingly performed. My favorite moment is the final allegro movement's trio. In the entire work, it's the most recognizably "American," conjuring barn dance fiddles. I haven't researched it so I wonder if he wrote the piano version first then later orchestrated it or vice versa.
@@jeffwatkins352 One of Copland's early teachers was Rubin Goldmark, who had studied composition with Dvořák. Some will argue that Copland didn't absorb much of the Dvořák style from Goldmark, but I have always heard that influence in much of Copland's music, a view shared by many fans of both composers. When I listen to Appalachian Spring, I'm always reminded of Dvořák's American Suite and New World Symphony.
Us crafty individuals who take the time to play the entire You Tube selection while recording the whole smear on cassette tape, then playing back the recording into say, Um, Audacity into their editing program we clean up the starts and finishes etc. Including we make CD files, lay on a disc etc.
The Daggerfall Trailer took me to this! 👏👏👏👏👏

Where'd you hear about the inspiration from African music?

The last movement reminds me a bit of some furiant Slavonic dance piece. But I am not a musician and have no musical education.

What an absolutely beautiful piece of music
Its so good....so outstanding....my brother loved this suite

19:13 Actually found it ! I Found Daggerfall's trailer theme 🙌
Il solito grande Dvorak,ispirato e musicalmente unico . Questa suite è un capolavoro di tecnica, orchestrazione e melodia
Ottimo post.
Stupendo capolavoro
So good!! Thank you!
Anyone came here from the Daggerfall trailer?
Myself
@@wyatthawks218 Had it on CD for years with Symphony #9. 1983 DECCA recording RPO/DORATI for Op. 98b. #9 by WIENER PHILHARMONIC/KONDRASHIN 1979.

Dvorak's music makes me feel nostalgic and cathardic in a way almost nothing else can.
Does anyone come to these obscure but beautiful musical pieces because they are in an orchestra?
olá! a música é maravilhosa, sugiro colocar as propagandas antes e depois do show, para não estragar a beleza da música. obrigada.

Written for piano in 1894, orchestrated in 1895.
@@leestamm3187 Do you think Copland though of Dvorak's piano version while he was creating Appalachian Spring? I like to think so.

@@leestamm3187 Thank you for that wonderful insight. There's a sense of joyful optimism in both composers.
What happen to America now.
