Music

Composer of the month: Dvorak

 

 

Anton Dvorak (you say it Devor-jacques) lived from 1841 to 1904 and he was Czech.  He wrote a piece called the New World Symphony.  The second movement was used for a well known advert - see if your parents and grandparents recognise it.   Here is a link: https://youtu.be/hOX15agZ3-0.  Another famous piece by him was Humoresque https://youtu.be/LR9msTsmpZs.  Can you find any other pieces by him?

 

So far this year we have listened to Einaudi, Shostakovich and Copeland.
