Music is creation - old or new, it doesn't matter. I have eminem on my ipod and Dvorak, too. Good music isn't just about how it sounds, but how you personally respond. The New World Symphony makes me tingle everywhere and has since I picked up a discount tape of it when I was 14 just to act snooty. Who knew I'd fall in love with classical music?
Why doesnt society like this music ?!!?!? Mix this with some Punk Rock , and you will have the best music ever written, or a possible paradox either way ...

i love listening to different composers interpretation of the music. i am nineteen years old, and know this piece inside and out. however, i have heard things in this version that i have never heard or noticed before.
I first heard from the New World when I was living in Prague. I would go periodically to Levna Kniha and load up on cheap DVDs and funky old acoustic blues CDs pressed in Germany. One of the treasures was a CD put out by L-K themselves of Novy Svet. It became obvious from where American films were ripping off their tastiest riffs. That's why Dvorak is so familiar: even though he never made it past Ohio during his lifetime he spent a good part of the 20th century inspiring Hollywood.
Right church, slightly wrong pew. Dvorak did get a bit further west, to the little town of Spillville, Iowa, where he spent a summer with his family, listening, thinking, getting inspired. He's said to have written his American Quartet there.
There's a charming little book on it, by Patricia Hampl, came out in 1993, very worth tracking down.
@14point0 'first time i heard this, i sobbed uncontrollably. i don't know why.' I still do after 30 years of listening...it is Godly inspired music, that's why
@pamie769 Can only upload 10-minute vids on YouTube. The movement on my CD is seamless. Where else is this movement broken down in two (besides YouTube?
@pamie769 If you are referring to the two separate videos, it's because YouTube only allows videos to be ten minutes in length. This movement runs longer than ten minutes, so in order to upload the entire movement it must be done in two parts.
@joelbbishop You should check out Gerhard Hetzel playing the violin during that section. watch?v=229MtHJRvUw It starts about 1:25 in on that version. It is amazing.
(Gehard was the Concert Master for the Vienna Philharmonic.)
When I was 9, in 1967, my father gave me a vinyl copy of the Berlin Philharmonic performing the New World Symphony. I still have it . . .it's in pristine, unscratched, unmarred condition, almost a miracle for a vinyl analog recording from that era. Played on a high-end linear tracking turntable, it carries a richness and depth that modern digitized recordings and media cannot hope to match. I actually pity those who appreciate this music, yet cannot hear it in its true, un-sterilized form.
@mangeHer , better late than never, there are so many people, especially the youth who do not know what exists beyond Hip-Hop and Rap, how empty can their lives be... ;-)
@DeadOriginal - I know what you mean! I'm 16, and so many of the people I know think I'm weird for listening to classical music, or liking anything older at all. I don't know why, since this is so much better than what we have today! Nothing on the radio captures this kind of emotion. This is one of my favorites. :)
@DeadOriginal not entirely true, i'm 23 and wouldn't say i am old, there's plenty of young folk as well who like classical music. i think that generally 'my generation' take better care of their health now than previous generations but wouldn't say how 'ignorant' older generations must be for not matching up.
@ianmartin2008 And I'm 17.. I don't think thats old either. I listen to rap, hip hop, all that "teen garbage", but I'm a classically trained musician as well. Nothing can move the mind and soul like classical, plain and simple.. maybe dubstep but thats different :)
This is the blending of two cultures, European, Dvorak's discovery of the New Negro, through the musical legacy that Harry T. Burleigh shared while a student in New York where Dvorak was teaching. he was able to take simple melodies that feeds that soul and turn them in to complex musical images of inspiration! This symphony is National monument!
Hmmm...considering that this Symphony seems to have a key and a recognizable harmonic/melodic structure to even a 16 year old, I don't think that it would be very accurate to call this atonal. o.0
Off the top of my head, the only other symphony i can think of that's comparably beautiful to this is Sibelius' 1st symphony. If you haven't heard the Sibelius you haven't lived. It's on youtube
i thought this performance was just right on the money for, section-voicings and dynamics... that audience must have enjoyed that adagio movement so very much; the entire ensemble was in top form and very comfortable working w/ the maestro's minimal movements, especially giving room for soloists to do their best,,, love it very much; thank you for sharing this experience w/ us..... bedford joe usa
to add to what aboss115 said, pop is the "made in China" of music. it's very cheap, simplistic and bland.
garbage in my opinion...
the only styles of music that posess any inteligence in their composition, or that require musical experience to play, and forethought of structure would have to be classical music and metal. metal is the only modern style that can compare with classical. the rest is just a bunch of re-hashed monotonous "products".
indeed soooo true. though i have no idea about metal though. i thought all modern music was primitive these days... even the neo-classical compositions... hmm, you may have changed my mind:)
Goosebumps....the first part of this clip is SO eerie. I think because the first and last movement are so amazing, this movement gets looked over. Personally this is probably my favorite one :)
I completely understand. Both sides are guilty. Pop music's vulgarity and complete simplicity vs. Classical music's modern atonality. I sometimes don't know which side to pick.
@funkyalto Well Dvorak wasn't necessarily "revolutionary." No doubt his music is awesome, but his goal was to create American sounding classical music. So he took the most American story out there, the story of Lewis and Clark. But the piece sounds too similar to his works in Czech to be a new type of Classical.
@funkyalto Don't be so negative, praising someone who's talent's already been acknowledged is an easy thing. I agree it'll be a long time before we can hear such fantastic masterpieces... but i'd suggest you really start listening to the music that's played nowadays instead of living in the past of classical music: we do not all consider Justin Bieber and co. as good music, some are playing what you call "music", and i swear this can be really great, even with electric guitars and no violin.

@funkyalto I disagree. What is popular is maybe not a good direction, but there is so much out there that is unique beautiful and well written. Dig deeper. With the internet it is easy to find stuff that is both new and really good.
In terms of modern composers, you are wrong. What would we do without composers such as Hans Zimmer? Sure he's known as a film score writer, but he is extremely talented. Many great composers today are film score writers; they have learned from such greats as Shastakovich, thereby bringing neo-classical motifs into modern classical music.
However, I see where you are coming from. It's totally understandable and I agree that classical is being overshadowed by crap music like rap.
@ThreeARKs I think it's sad that you would disregard whole categories of perfectly legitimate and creative music, try listening to music just for what it is and forget what it's called. Besides, Hans Zimmer is not even that great, there are many rap artists better at what they do than he is at what he does
@plica06 no way it's corny! This is possibly the best thing on Earth, taking you to a more peaceful state of mind. I played the 2nd movement and I swear, the music changes you.
I'll say it once and again...the clarinets even though secondary in this piece steal the show. Their underlying lines are amazing. The first wind parts may take the center stage but they simply get you to tears. Thanks for posting

However, I see where you are coming from. It's totally understandable and I agree that classical is being overshadowed by crap music like rap.

@ThreeARKs I think it's sad that you would disregard whole categories of perfectly legitimate and creative music, try listening to music just for what it is and forget what it's called. Besides, Hans Zimmer is not even that great, there are many rap artists better at what they do than he is at what he does

Dvorak is the best, I've been listening to his New World Symphony since I was 8 and I don't get tire of this.

Amazing.
The most touching movement of probably my favorite symphonic work, and the Dublin Philharmonic plays it perfectly.

The first three minutes are my favourite in this whole symphony. Sounds corny but music can take you to another place.

It is so touching this theme... An originally Slav, melancholy theme...

@plica06 not corny at all bro...

@plica06 no way it's corny! This is possibly the best thing on Earth, taking you to a more peaceful state of mind. I played the 2nd movement and I swear, the music changes you.

I'll say it once and again...the clarinets even though secondary in this piece steal the show. Their underlying lines are amazing. The first wind parts may take the center stage but they simply get you to tears. Thanks for posting

3:36-4:02 starting with the oboe and then flute and clarinet joining. I love it! It makes me happy. =]
The whole piece is so touching. It gives me a knot in my throat.
