The Largo from Dvořák's New World Symphony (1893), famously associated with the folk song 'Goin' Home', is one of the most poignant melodies in the symphonic canon. On a steel tongue drum its long, unhurried phrases become deeply contemplative, the instrument's natural sustain stretching each note into something almost vocal. A deeply moving piece for quiet, reflective playing.
How to play New World Symphony Largo (Dvořák, Goin' Home) on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major Pentatonic scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a easy arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of New World Symphony Largo (Dvořák, Goin' Home).
