Antonin Dvorak's New World Symphony, his ninth, showed us how the common peoples' music of North America could form the basis of a new symphonic tradition.
 
His eighth symphony  similarly showed us how the folk and peasant traditions of his native Bohemia could do the same thing.
 
Dvorak was a man out to prove a point. He certainly succeeded on this side of the Atlantic. See what you think about his work on the other side of the ocean.

Originally from central Massachusetts, Jay has called the Space Coast home for more than 30 years. He began his association with WFIT in the late '90s as a dumpster diver for office furniture in response to a broadcast plea for a new chair from a frustrated disc jockey. (WFIT has come a long way since.)
