Goin' Home. From the largo of the New World Symphony
Boston: Oliver Ditson Company, 1922. Sheet_music. 8p. of which pp.4-7 are lyric and music notation, p.3 a lengthy background to Dvorak (1892-95 the director of the National Conservatory in NYC) an "enthusiastic student of the folk music of the American negro". Cover is decorated with a floral border in medium blue. Complete in fair-only condition with long splits putting cover at risk, two inch-long marginal tears, and lesser signs of thumbing. As is.
FYI, one element of Dvorak's absorption of gospel music was Longfellow's "Hiawatha" - he was not a purist.
