Sunday's Selection
This is one of my favourite pieces of 'classical' music. It congers up a few good memories when I was in the Royal International Nova Scotia Tattoo in the early 90's. It was the 'theme' of the Tattoo one year.....New World.
Dvorak wrote this second movement of his New World Symphony after his return from America. You can hear the influence this trip had on him.........I think of the American deep south when I hear this.
Hope you enjoy this piece as you stare out a window and let your imagination fly.
