Sequels: After Dvořák's "New World" Symphony

Описание к видео Sequels: After Dvořák's "New World" Symphony

The premiere of the "New World" Symphony in 1893 sparked a huge press controversy over what it meant for American (and other national) music to see a great composer write a big, serious, major work based, allegedly, on African-American and Native American melodies. Here are five responses by five very worthy composers, two female, one Irish, three African-American, and all inspired in one way or another by Dvořák's example.
