Why do they do it?
This wonderful piece of music
Is so often mistitled by people!
His ninth symphony,
Dvorak’s last symphony
Is so often called “The New World Symphony”.
It is not called that!
It is entitled “FROM the New World”.
Am I just being a pedant once more,
I don’t think so,
As the music was taken from the new world,
That New world that he travelled.
I do wish people would honour Dvorak,
And call it by the correct name.
“From the New World”.
