I've had a number of requests from folks for the words to the "Going Home theme" from Dvorak's Symphony No. 90 in E-minor, Op 95: From "The New World." I seem to remember words to this but cannot locate any from my current sources. Any help or websites with promise would be most appreciated.

Congratulations, you are in the right place!

There are a number of old threads on this, with words and discussion of its relationship to Dvorak. You can find them using the Filter and Search boxes at the top of the thread list.

We try not to add new stuff in new threads, if there are existing threads, to make it easier to find things when people look them up-- so please, if people have new things to add about the topic, please look up one of the older threads and add it there, not here.

Go to Going Home
You will find 3-4 sets of words that have been put to Dvorak's melody from Symphony # 90. Comments that the tune was based on a spiritual are nonsense.

I added my name to the Mudcat membeership and changed my moniker to Paul from Buckley. Thanks WYSIWIG and Dicho for the leads. Looks like the real thing.

Hey, Paul, welcome to Mudcat! "Yer among yer own kind now."

Some of the newer members are introducing themselves and their music over HERE if you want to say a bit about yo'seff, and the FAQ and Site Map and PermaThread Index are pretty helpful too.

Thanks Susan. I was a Mudcatter several years ago, but between a computer hard drive restructure and a marriage and move, I drifted away. Awfully good to be back!
