Some musical compositions stir my mind,<\/p>\n
some stir my blood, for\u00a0instance the skirl of\u00a0 bagpipes, probably ancestry.<\/p>\n
Dvorschak’s Ninth Symphony stirs my mind<\/p>\n
and my blood and I wonder\u00a0 what it must have<\/p>\n
been like to be Americans\u00a0 in Carnegie Hall on<\/p>\n
a December night in 1893 listening to it for the<\/p>\n
first time? At that time it bore no title.<\/p>\n
Surely by the end of the second movement they<\/p>\n
knew it was about the “New\u00a0 World” or, if you<\/p>\n
like, them.<\/p>\n
Can you imagine what they thought one hundred<\/p>\n
and twenty-four years ago, can you feel what they<\/p>\n
must have felt? I can.<\/p>\n
