Largo is based on an old Spiritual called "Going Home". I was a young boy when my uncle sang this at my grandmother's funeral. It's in my will that I want it sung at my funeral as well. It is as peaceful and comforting as an old blanket. Dvorak's ain't so bad either 🙂
Goin’ home, goin’ home,
I’m just goin’ home,
Quiet like some still day
I’m just goin’ home.
It’s not far, just close by,
Through an open door.
My work’s all done, cares laid by,
Goin’ to fear no more.
Mother’s there ‘spectin’ me,
And father’s waitin’ too,
Lots of folk are gathered there,
With the friends I knew.
With the friends I knew.
Home, home, I’m goin’ home.
Nothin’s lost, all’s gain.
No more fret or pain,
No more stumbling on the way,
And no more longin’ for the day,
Goin’ to roam no more.
Mornin’ star lights the way,
Restless dreams all done,
Shadow’s gone, break of day,
Real life’s just begun.
There’s no break, ain’t no end,
Just a-livin’ on,
I’m wide awake with a smile,
Goin’ on and on.
Goin’ home, goin’ home,
I’m just goin’ home,
It’s not far, just close by,
Through an open door,
I’m just goin’ home.
Classic FM, é uma honra poder ouvir vocês. Vocês são uma das minhas rádios favoritas 🤩🫡
Um abraço, de uma brasileira que sonha com um Brasil cuja rádio popular seja sobre música clássica.
One of my top favorite symphonies! Thanks for posting this. I discovered Dvorak in high school as our band played Finale during a winter concert.
