Description

This delightful hour will feature musical paintings of charming mountain springs, country weddings, and old castles; all in the lush Bohemian countryside, thanks to Bedrich Smetana.  Learn about the folk legends that motivated his amazing “Ma Vlast” symphonic poem. This hour is further enriched with Antonio Dvorak’s musical impressions of America. This Czech composer visited America and was commissioned to compose “The New World” symphony. Neil Armstrong selected this symphony for his 1969 trip to the moon.
