Symphony No. 9 in E minor: From the New World, Op. 95/ B. 178: Conductor Score & Parts

Popularly know as the “New World Symphony,” Antonín Dvorák's Symphony No. 9 in E minor was composed in 1893 while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America.  A major part of the orchestral repertoire, this symphony's melodic material was influenced by the music of Native Americans and African-American spirituals he heard during his tenure in North America, while his sense of America's “wide open spaces” after a visit to Iowa's prairies also inspired the feeling of the work. Instrumentation in set: 2(2dblPicc).2(2dblEH).2.2: 4.2.2(+BTbn).1: Timp.Perc(1): Str (9-8-7-6-5).
