"Goin' Home" is based on a folk spiritual penned in
1893 by William Arms Fisher from "The New World
Symphony" Largo Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95
Movement 2 by Antonín Leopold Dvořák.
I created this arrangement for the Sierra Vista United
Methodist Church (SVUMC) for Organ to highlight the
somber mantra for use during prelude.
The Largo has always been one of my favorite pieces of classical music. I am familiar with the "Goin" Home" hymn lyrics and also some folk lyrics, titled "Morning's Come," although i do not know the oigin of these folk lyrics. My Church choir takes a break in June, so they have individual choir members agree to do solos instead. I agreed to do one, and the theme of the month is pride in the all-inclusive nature of God. I thus have written my own lyrics to the Largo to be consistent with this theme. This site has been a wonderful help. I know our Church organist will like Mike Magatagan's arrangement, and the MP3 organ demonstration of the piece has been extremely helpful to me in making my words fit the meter and tambour. It is also great for rehearsing the piece. I am to sing it in mid June. Thank you so much or this wonderful site.
