Publisher's Synopsis
Originally composed in 1887 for soli, chorus and organ, Dvorak expanded this outstanding work in 1892 for a British concert featuring a large choir and full orchestra. The premiere was given on March 11, 1893 in London's Crystal Palace with August Manns conducting the Crystal Palace Choir and orchestra. The study score offered here is a newly researched and engraved edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. The large score and orchestral parts for this superb edition are also available from Serenissima Music.
