Show Notes
Antonín Dvořák’s New World Symphony, written on his journey through America, expresses many layers of homesickness: the composer’s for his motherland. American Indians’ for their stolen lands and way of life. Slaves’ alienation and displacement from their families and homeland. The universal human longing for our reunion with God.
