Goin' Home (Dvořák)

This is Antonín Dvořák's New World Symphony, put down on paper for choirs to sing by the one and only David Wright. Featuring the quartet Lemon Squeezy and Emanuel Roll on solo parts. From our concert in Adolf Fredrik's church on May 18th.

Last night I listened to the complete Dvorak New World Symphony and cried like a baby through out. Today I found this excerpt and discovered I still had a lot of tears left.

[@patriciafriesen8280]

Bryan Tercel sings this beautifully. I like you cannot listen without emotion…

[@patriciafriesen8280]

Bryn Terfel

[@corneliswagenaar8110]

same here!

[@leighearnshaw8353]

I am about 3 bars in and already in tears...such a good version

[@michaeltutty1540]

The whole piece is out of this world. This arrangement is outstanding. It is also one piece that works incredibly well on bagpipes. A single piper for the first verse, then the wall of sound hits hard.

[@carramba66]

I am Czech, as was Dvořák, so I have known the symphony From the New World and especially the Largo since childhood, my father used to listen to it. And as a member of Dvořák's nation, I must say, if he heard this, he would be proud of you, Mr. Wright.

[@michaeltutty1540]

I'm Canadian of Scottish and Cornish background. Like you I grew up with Symphony From The New World as part of my life. The Largo has always tugged the heart strings.

[@rlcg37]

My father is Czech and growing we would regularly listen to the New World Symphony on Sunday afternoons. My father is now facing the end of his life, and 100% we will be doing this at the funeral.

[@antm64]

Is there anything more pleasing than listening to a fantastic group of a cappella male voices? Beautiful harmonies that bring emotions of musical joy...

[@antm64]

It's New Year's Eve, 2023 and I've come back to say goodbye to the old year. Many years ago, I saw a movie titled "Snake Pit." A female mental institution patient sings this piece accompanied by a pianist, both in a very large common hall...the camera pans around to various other patients exhibiting broken minds and returns to her...tears roll down her checks as she sings...most moving scene I've ever watched. This arrangement is wonderful...performed by a fantastic chorus!

[@lesliestrozeski4494]

Saw that too long ago and never forgot the emotional impact it had on me then, and still. This performance is beautiful.@@antm64

Adolf Fredriks kyrka is a church in central Stockholm, Sweden. It was built in 1768-1774, which was dedicated to Saint Olof.

[@annimerethenilsen8888]

As an old brassband lady i adored this,i have played trumpet and all the instrument down to the tuba! now i am 66, only play trumpet and althorn, but never stops until the day i die,brass band forever ❤❤

[@RichMelvin]

This is the most amazing men’s chorus I have ever heard! And what a performance!

[@1bbshopbrat]

Have you not heard of Ambassadors of Harmony, Vocal Majority, Westminster?? Zero 8 is very amazing though. Not sure who my favorite is anymore

[@RichMelvin]

@@1bbshopbrat Oh yes, I know the groups you mentioned. The Vocal Majority’s performance of the hymn “How Great Thou Art” is another one of my favorites. It’s the wide tonal range that makes Zero8 so amazing. Their basses rumble away on low d-flats while the tenors get up into the soprano range at the end. That, and the overall quality of their performance is why I think these guys are so amazing.

[@lelonfurr1200]

i have listened to mens chorus for the past 40 yrs but these guys put themall in the shade WELL DONE ZERO8!

[@caroljohnson4154]

And the choir does it so well, you can hear every note of the orchestra in their singing

[@ewencameron1548]

Just so beautiful

[@kahanasam]

I adore Dvorak. This is just so emotional and intense. Choked up.

[@thecartercrew3725]

My beautiful black cat Raven. It's been 3 and a half years since you went home. I miss you so much, girl. Times are hard here right now, but I know one day we'll be together again. I love you, girl 🌹

[@mariedelaurentis980]

Last 15 seconds pushes an already great rendition into the deep-soul realm and the tears come unbidden.

[@seanaustin71]

I feel the same.

[@OrmondOtvos]

Astounding miking and mixing and directing!

[@Lion-wm6mf]

That countertenor is fantastic

[@carolesullivan9125]

So beautifully song I am going home

[@corneliswagenaar8110]

Heartbreaking, so beautifull, thank you!

[@margrietbrandsma000]

Gratitude for the human heart. Grace. Blessings.

[@DanDanPlaysMusic]

I want to be a part of a choir like this

[@PedroBroggini]

Drowned in tears. Perfection!

[@wrightsings]

This is the first time I've heard it with voices (I hear it with computer tones when it's being arranged). I think it's one of David's best.

[@alhuxley8795]

Sandi, are you related to David?

[@wrightsings]

@@alhuxley8795 I'm his wife.

[@alhuxley8795]

@@wrightsings Thank you very much. Your husband is very talented! Tell him I said so!!!!!!

[@alhuxley8795]

I really loved his rendition of "Goin Home."

[@theSaxman5]

I've heard many arrangements of this beautiful song and all are outstanding, very well throughout and presented in a way that brings joyful tears to my eyes. Going Home, absolutely!!!

[@Chase4everChase]

This Choir will definitely grab hearts like never before. Thank you for sharing this video with the world and with me. 🙂 (Chase)

[@JeffinBville]

Their continuity and dynamic controls are astounding.

[@ingridlaskova1878]

[@caroljohnson4154]

The New World symphony was his favourite classical piece

[@orestegiannessi2167]

Wonderful, from Turin,Italy.

[@r.h.reevesiii3748]

What an arrangement!

[@johannesallgaier5722]

These counters with the massive base of deeper tones. Wow.

[@caroljohnson4154]

I agree, I have shared it with so many friends as I was in a barber shop choir to, such precision in word and musical tone,I also got the New World symphony on you tube to listen to and they are so close to the orchestral rendition it's beautiful.

[@thiagonascimentoengenheiro]

Absolutamente maravilhosa atuação. Percebo que desde tempos antigos muitos compositores dando o devido elogio e agradecimento ao autor da vida.

[@luisespinosa1395]

¡ Fantástica interpretación de esre coro a tan bella melodía...! Gracias por compartir

My dad would have loved this .The New World

[@cosmofoxgaming1268]

So beautiful

[@gustavosalcedo3092]

Stunning and marvelous performance of a wonderful masterpiece! Bravo Zero8 Chorus!!!

[@triptostlouis]

Such comfort in those harmonies.

[@nancyeigenhouse8176]

This song was sung in the movie "The Snake Pit"! It was also a theme song - melody only - in the movie "Four Friends" - my favorite movie. Until watching the TCM movie "The Snake Pit," I could never find the name of this beautiful song. It all came together finally!

[@zbabic]

What a nice rendition. Paul Robeson would approve. ;)

[@personalaccount5296]

Aww I have goosebumps it's so beautiful

[@jctresham4592]

Best arrangement I’ve heard for a male voice choir.

[@user-wl1te4jy9u]

색다른 감동이군요. 멋진 연주의 충격에 오늘 하루가 즐거울 듯 합니다. 감사합니다.

[@DJMaxVB]

Where can I buy this arrangement? This hymn was sung at my Grandmother's funeral, and Dvorak 9 has been a go-to on my "feels" playlist ever since. I would love to get my church choir to perform this.

[@karengilliland2439]

Thank you Zero8, that was beautiful, and made me cry for my lost loved ones who went home.

[@javivianharvey3113]
