Product Description

Composed by Antonín Dvorak in 1893 while still director of the National Conservatory of Music of America, his orchestral setting of the American Spiritual Going Home is a cornerstone of the symphonic repertoire. This incredibly simple and beautiful theme has been arranged here for clarinet quintet. This second movement is introduced by a harmonic progression of chords that can be interpreted as a musical rendition of the narrative formula "Once upon a time." The movement's middle section contains a passage in C minor evoking a nostalgic and desolate mood which eventually leads into a funeral march above pizzicato steps in the bass clarinet. It is followed by a quasi-scherzo that incorporates this movement's theme as well as the first movement's main and closing themes. The Largo is concluded with the soft return of the main theme and introductory chords.
