This arrangement by Percy Hall is slightly abridged for difficulty but still contains all of the original themes from Dvorák's popular New World symphony. The key is a half-step higher (two sharps) to make it more suitable for younger players. Familiar tunes within the context of the slow tempo make this a superb work for teaching bow movement, phrasing, and tone quality.

Beautiful and highly dramatic, Antonín Dvorák's Stabat Mater was inspired both by the centuries-old image of the Virgin Mary's vigil at the foot of the cross and by the composer's grief at the deaths of his children. Based upon the traditional Latin text compiled by the thirteenth-century Franciscan Jacopone de Todi, this is one of Dvorák's most moving achievements.The first of the composer's important sacred works, Stabat Mater premiered in 1880 at the Czech Provisional Theater in Prague, followed by performances in Brno and Budapest, and at London's Albert Hall, where Dvorák conducted. The work's tumultuous popularity led to performances in Germany, Austria, and the United States that won the composer lasting worldwide fame. Its melodic beauty and affecting sincerity keep it an enduring favorite among musicians and music lovers.

While the immense popularity of Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World," has somewhat overshadowed his other symphonic works, the two symphonies reprinted here are superb compositions in their own right. Indeed, the Symphony No. 7 in D Major is considered by many music authorities to be Dvořák's finest achievement in the symphonic form. Its strong, concise development, great emotional depths, and heroic spirit have won the work many admirers among critics and public alike.Regarding the Symphony No. 6, Grove's Dictionary has this to "The joyous Symphony in D Major, Op. 60, full of the fragrance and melody of the Czech fields and forests, full of light and cheerful courage, with the furiant in the scherzo, is a work of striking originality."This handsome, durable volume affords music lovers the opportunity to study these great scores, carefully and accurately reproduced from an authoritative German edition.
