#SlowAirSunday: Going Home • Going Home is a sad and moving religious funeral song adapted from Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9 with a message about finding peace in the next life. • Tune History: • Goin' Home was actually written by one of Dvorak's pupils, William Arms Fisher (1861-1948), who adapted and arranged the Largo theme and added his own words, as indicated on the sheet music cover published by Oliver Ditson Company in Boston. It has been said that Dvorak's themes in his symphony were inspired by American folk melodies, especially Afro-American. But his themes are just as similar to Czech or Bohemian folk music and probably came from his own country's music tradition. • Lyrics: • Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home; • Quiet-like, some still day, I'm jes' goin' home. • It's not far, jes' close by, • Through an open door; • Work all done, care laid by, • Goin' to fear no more. • Mother's there 'spectin' me, • Father's waitin' too; • Lots o' folk gather'd there, • All the friends I knew, • All the friends I knew. • Home, I'm goin' home! • Nothin lost, all's gain, • No more fret nor pain, • No more stumblin' on the way, • No more longin' for the day, • Goin' to roam no more! • Mornin' star lights the way, • Res'less dream all done; • Shadows gone, break o' day, • Real life jes' begun. • There's no break, there's no end, • Jes' a livin' on; • Wide awake, with a smile • Goin' on and on. • Goin' home, goin' home, I'm jes' goin' home, • goin' home, goin' home, goin' home! • Recommend to the viewer: • Paul Robeson Live at Carnegie Hall • • Going Home • Sissel Live singing, Going Home: • • Sissel - Going Home • Video Filmed on Location at Hillside Memorial Cemetery in Redlands California • Filmed by Tress Maksimuk, Dark Isle Piper • Playing on McCallum Bagpipes • #SlowAirSunday • Visit Dark Isle Piper's Website at: • www.darkislepiper.com
