Composed by Antonin Dvorak and William Arms Fisher. Arranged by Felix Linsmeier. Classical,Folk,Romantic Period,Sacred,Spiritual. Score and parts. 31 pages. Felix Linsmeier #591388. Published by Felix Linsmeier (A0.985729).The famous theme from the Largo of the Symphony No. 9 was adapted into the spiritual-like song "Goin' Home" (often mistakenly considered a folk song or traditional spiritual) by Dvořák's pupil William Arms Fisher, who wrote the lyrics in 1922. This arrangement is based on Dvořák's original orchestration of the Largo as well as the cuts and changes made by Fisher for his piano edition. This orchestration is perfectly compatible with Fisher's piano score, which the singer may use. The instrumentation is 2.2(II=corA.).2.2 - 3.2.3.1 - timp - strings + solo singer (preferably baritone) In the UK, the theme gained traction among the general public after its use in an advert for the Hovis bakery. In 1981, Don Williams would record a different song written to the melody, by Roger Cook. The resulting composition, "Miracles", would peak at number 4 on the Billboard country singles chart that July, and also reach number 32 on the adult contemporary chart.
