Dvorak Introduction to Symphony No. 9 From the New World
Few works for the concert hall have won such immediate and continuing popularity as Dvořák´s Symphony No. 9 ´From the New World´. Dramatic, lyrical, and spacious, it presents a rich panorama of ravishing and exciting orchestral colours, reflecting the experiences and emotions of the great Czech composer during his years in America towards the end of the nineteenth century. Its abiding magic might seem beyond analysis, but in this detailed and fascinating tour Jeremy Siepmann explores the inner-workings of a masterpiece, his enthusiasm not only intact but enhanced.
Dvořák´s ´New World´ Symphony is undoubtedly a much-played, much-loved masterpiece - but why? What are the ´New World´ connections, and how does it link with the 19th-century symphonic tradition that was so much the composer´s musical heritage? This informal but fascinating and detailed account enriches our appreciation of one of the most popular symphonies without the need for any theoretical knowledge of music.

1. Play with flash player A quiet beginning: sorrow, syncopation, and sequence 00:02:38
2. Play with flash player Instrumental colour as a prime element: clarinets and bassoons, an outburst by the French horn 00:00:57
3. Play with flash player The opening tune again, with different instrumental colouring: now flutes and oboes 00:00:32
4. Play with flash player The first big surprise: strings, shattering drumbeats, shrieks from flutes, oboes, and clarinets 00:00:37
5. Play with flash player Cellos and basses take us into a new key while flutes and oboes dance in syncopation. 00:00:32
6. Play with flash player Horns, violas, and cellos introduce a new idea, soon to evolve into the main theme. 00:00:31
7. Play with flash player A tiny detail from the opening culminates in a wild drumming that heralds A Major event 00:00:43
8. Play with flash player Introduction complete 00:02:05
9. Play with flash player A solo horn introduces the main theme, perkily answered by bassoons and horns. 00:00:39
10. Play with flash player The theme moves to G Major; answering phrase from flutes, oboes, bassoons. 00:00:33
11. Play with flash player Long crescendo, tremolo strings, back to tonic and biggest statement yet of the main theme. 00:00:39
12. Play with flash player Transition to the secondary theme through the use of sequence. Sonata form; satability and flux 00:01:36
13. Play with flash player Three - bar groupings and again the use of sequence, spelling out a chord 00:00:34
14. Play with flash player The sequence continues to rise, and the four - bar phrase returns as the standard unit. 00:00:18
15. Play with flash player The first violins start off the next phrase, but the melodic shape is more compact. 00:00:21
16. Play with flash player The violins fall silent; the violas and cellos answer with a new figure 00:00:09
17. Play with flash player So now we have a two - bar group, made up of statement and answer. 00:00:07
18. Play with flash player The same thing again (though not quite the same) 00:00:05
19. Play with flash player Transition complete. The secondary theme arrives, with French horns as 'bagpipes'. 00:01:00
20. Play with flash player The 'bagpipe drone' is taken over by cellos, with their insistently repeated G and D. 00:00:19
21. Play with flash player The tune is taken up by cellos and double - basses, 'shadowed' by the second violins. 00:00:57
22. Play with flash player The violins continue a pattern of steady pairs, and the cellos and basses introduce a new idea. 00:00:33
23. Play with flash player Unexpectedly, we find ourselves back with the secondary theme. A new idea emerges. 00:00:26
24. Play with flash player Again we hear the shortened version of the secondary theme 00:00:33
25. Play with flash player The suspense is heightened as everything slows down 00:00:25
26. Play with flash player This beautiful flute tune is said to resemble 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot'. 00:00:47
27. Play with flash player A big crescendo leads to a final statement of the closing theme 00:01:16
28. Play with flash player The development section begins with a conversation between cellos, double - bases, and violins. 00:01:09
29. Play with flash player The beginning of the closing theme is taken up in turn by the horn, piccolo, and trumpet. 00:00:18
30. Play with flash player Sequential chirping from the oboes based on the 'answering' part of the main theme, now in thE Major 00:00:18
31. Play with flash player Much of the development comes from a diminution of the closing theme from the exposition. 00:00:19
32. Play with flash player A tiny detail becomes A Major ingredient, giving an agitated quality to an originally sunny tune. 00:00:31
33. Play with flash player Through a sequence of keys so quickly that it is hard to keep track of them 00:00:37
34. Play with flash player The main theme from massed cellos and double - basses, topped by two trumpets over tremolo violas 00:01:46
35. Play with flash player After that major climax, we arrive at the threshold of the recapitulation 00:01:04
36. Play with flash player Dvorak flouts tradition by setting the secondary theme and the closing theme in unexpected keys. 00:01:10
37. Play with flash player The tumultuous convulsion of the coda brings the first movement to its epic close. 00:03:09
38. Play with flash player Humpty Dumpty: putting the bits back together again 00:00:20
39. Play with flash player First movement (complete) 00:11:36
40. Play with flash player The very opening chords unmistakably herald the arrival of something special. 00:01:06
41. Play with flash player The role of instrumentation in setting the scene... 00:01:10
42. Play with flash player ... and in enhancing the quality of one of the most famous tunes in symphonic history. 00:01:29
43. Play with flash player The cor anglais is joined by the clarinet, creating a fascinating change in the timbre. 00:01:08
44. Play with flash player For the closing part of the tune, there is another new sonority: cor anglais plus bassoon. 00:00:24
45. Play with flash player The closing bar is repeated by clarinets and bassoons, the horn adding a new touch 00:00:28
46. Play with flash player Back to the start to hear the whole of the story so far, this time without commentary 00:02:24
47. Play with flash player A change of scoring: the slow opening chords return, this time played by the winds alone. 00:01:14
48. Play with flash player The changes in scoring are just beginning. 00:02:35
49. Play with flash player The flutes and oboes introduce a new tune, over hushed tremolo strings. 00:01:05
50. Play with flash player A memorable combination of continuous, asymmetrical melody with steady, march - like counterpoint. 00:01:28
51. Play with flash player Back in that woodland glade, the light and shadows have changed, revealing new shapes and patterns. 00:01:33
52. Play with flash player The next section is new and forward - looking, yet also a kind of dream - recollection of a past scene. 00:01:30
53. Play with flash player An abrupt change of mood, much discussion and embellishment, and a hushed note of expectancy 00:02:01
54. Play with flash player Subjectivity and expertise; Sourek and Tovey disagree; onwards, into the final section 00:05:14
55. Play with flash player Cue to whole movement 00:00:10
56. Play with flash player Second movement (complete) 00:12:00

1. Play with flash player Dvorak, Beethoven, and the Scherzo. Dvorak purposely confuses the listener's expectations. 00:01:54
2. Play with flash player Using a little fanfare, Dvorak further builds up expectation before revealing the main theme. 00:00:21
3. Play with flash player When the theme is revealed, we find that it is not exactly a tune. 00:00:36
4. Play with flash player Two little bursts of rhythm provide the seeds from which much of the movement grows. 00:00:24
5. Play with flash player It is the second half of the theme that dominates. 00:00:22
6. Play with flash player Back to the beginning to hear the whole of this opening section 00:00:48
7. Play with flash player Without ever being remotely 'academic' or 'intellectual', there is much counterpoint going on here. 00:00:20
8. Play with flash player Dvorak's very Czech love of combining conflicting rhythms, sometimes metres 00:02:31
9. Play with flash player A clearly transitional passage, obsessed with the rhythmic tag that both opens and closes the theme 00:00:30
10. Play with flash player Sooner than we may have expected, we seem to have arrived at the Trio section. 00:01:07
11. Play with flash player A new kind of tone quality sheds a subtly different light on the theme. 00:00:35
12. Play with flash player The flutes and oboes now chime in with an answering variant of the opening... 00:00:21
13. Play with flash player ... and the cellos and bassoons take up the original version of the theme. 00:00:43
14. Play with flash player A false alarm: it was not the traditional Trio section at all, but rather part 2 of Scherzo proper 00:00:52
15. Play with flash player Soon, after a very rapid build, the Scherzo proper does reach its final phase. 00:01:13
16. Play with flash player The orchestral texture thins dramatically, and we approach what this time really is the Trio section. 00:01:28
17. Play with flash player The Trio section is reminiscent more of the 'Old World' than the 'New'. 00:00:50
18. Play with flash player In the second half of the Trio, a new tune emerges, a kind of Slavonic waltz. 00:01:00
19. Play with flash player The main theme of the Trio returns against a much fuller orchestral background. 00:00:36
20. Play with flash player Then it is all a matter of repeats, until we reach the coda, which ends with an explosive bang. 00:01:15
21. Play with flash player Third movement (complete) 00:08:07
22. Play with flash player Like the first movement, the fourth begins not with its main theme but with an introduction. 00:00:47
23. Play with flash player The main theme: an imposing march, introduced by trumpets and trombones, with timpani 00:00:48
24. Play with flash player The main theme, part two. A codetta - like passage closes off the march 00:01:01
25. Play with flash player The 'transitional' theme, while outwardly contrasting, is actually a hidden variant of the march. 00:00:53
26. Play with flash player A point of future obsession 00:00:16
27. Play with flash player The second half of this 'transitional' theme is given to the winds the strings have finished. 00:00:16
28. Play with flash player The 'obsession' takes root, with a ten - fold repetition, before the arrival of the second subject. 00:00:57
29. Play with flash player The hidden traps in sonata - form terminology: 'second main theme' vx. 'second subject' 00:02:31
30. Play with flash player The unexpected entry and subsequent ubiquity of 'Three Blind Mice' 00:01:23
31. Play with flash player We meet the mice again, now in the cellos and double - basses, where they persistently refuse to run. 00:00:36
32. Play with flash player More 'Three Blind Mice' material 00:00:30
33. Play with flash player The mice return to the basement, where the bassoons have joined the cellos and double - basses. 00:00:19
34. Play with flash player Next, they are back with the clarinets who pass them back to the cellos 00:00:18
35. Play with flash player Now they return to the high winds, delicately trilling. 00:00:15
36. Play with flash player Relief, at last: the mice back off, making way for a remainder of the main theme from the trumpets. 00:00:34
37. Play with flash player The mice yield to woodpeckers; the main theme is now doubled in speed 00:01:07
38. Play with flash player The triplets of the 'transitional' theme are now handed down through strings 00:00:23
39. Play with flash player Reminders of past movements begin to fly by, thick and fast, sometimes very fast. 00:00:28
40. Play with flash player In fact there are three bits of quotation going on here simultaneously. 00:00:23
41. Play with flash player The violas react every time the 'Goin' Home' theme is quoted by the winds. 00:00:35
42. Play with flash player The rhythm of the opening of the 'Goin' Home' theme dominates, transformed by trumpets 00:00:35
43. Play with flash player The march theme reappears as a Mendelssohnian fairy; the main theme from the 1st mov. now returns. 00:01:55
44. Play with flash player We reach an interesting point: have we heard the beginning of the recapitulation, or not 00:01:05
45. Play with flash player Perhaps this is it Back for a reminder of the theme proper, as we first heard it 00:01:41
46. Play with flash player Tovey places the start of the recapitulation here. 00:01:27
47. Play with flash player The main theme recast in pathetic rather than heroic terms - and with magical scoring 00:01:51
48. Play with flash player This unexpected crisis in confidence plays A Major role in the overall dramatic impact of the mov. 00:01:49
49. Play with flash player The main theme returns - not complete, but chopped up into shorter and shorter fragments. 00:01:30
50. Play with flash player A glorious thematic stew; high drama, a powerful build - up... but then 00:00:56
51. Play with flash player The dramatic highpoint of the mov., an astonishing transformation, but first, back to the original 00:01:26
52. Play with flash player The same chords again, this time blasted out by the entire wind and brass sections 00:01:09
53. Play with flash player Now we are into the finishing stretch, but the surprises continue to the very end of the very end. 00:01:42
54. Play with flash player Summary, context, and cue into the whole movement 00:01:05
55. Play with flash player Fourth movement (complete) 00:11:05
Total Playing Time: 02:28:37
