It's from the New World Symphony By Antonin Dvorak (No.9)

This seems to come up every six months or so. See threads 13099, 2103 and 38463. The link 'Going Home' by Masato, above, 2103, has lyrics. So does thread 13099: Going . The other thread noted by Masato, 'G..H.. recording' has discussion (38463).

There was no previous spiritual; all sets of lyrics are later than Dvorak's composition.

These threads should be combined.

The tune is the second movement (I believe) from Dvorak's "Symphony from the New World."

This tune by Dvorak was used in the funeral for the fire chief and a lieutenant (sorry, ranks probably wrong) along with Amazing Grace.

Mac, do a SuperSearch on the words going home. Also, if searching on the 'net use the words go'in home and goin' home.

We've discussed this here, and there's lots of info. Most people think it was an old spiritual, but Dvorak seemed to have composed it after the "style."

It's used a lot here in the US at funerals. The firefighters also have a VERY close brotherhood, and use it and Amazing Grace often.

We'll see it a lot here soon.

A piper played a slow air called "Going Home" at the funeral of one of New York's fire fighters. Does anyone know any of the history of this air?

Paul Robeson recorded it. I used to have a copy of a US army hymnal acquired from an army surplus store(!) which I bought because it had lots of spirituals in it,but don't have it now. I would think it must be in mainstream non-conformist hymnals as well.

Hi,

Does anyone have a suggestion as to where to find the lyrics for the old spiritual "Going Home" or possibly "Goin' home"? The melody is virtualy identical with part of Dvorak's New World Symphony.

Thanks,

Bud
