Description: An American pupil of Dvorak, William Arms Fisher, set this well-known melody from the Second Movement of Dvorak's New World Symphony to words in the style of a Negro spiritual. The Catalan words (El Nou Món - The New World) are not the same, but Fisher's original words - or most of them - could be used instead. Several different versions of his text can easily be found on the web, but a facsimile of the 1922 edition for voice and piano published by Cawthornes of Melbourne, with a preface by William Arms Fisher himself, posted on the web by the National Library of Australia (nla.gov.au/nla.mus-an7721849), has this presumably authoritative version (see under English translation, below).
