Largo ("Going Home" from the New World Symphony): Viola

Everyone remembers this Antonín Dvorák tune by its subtitle, "Going Home." This lush song is creatively scored with your intermediate orchestra in mind. Although there appear to be some exposed woodwind passages in this familiar melody, they are generously cross-cued so that the work is playable solely with strings and piano. A very warm rendition to be cherished for years to come. (5:35)
