| Added by magataganm, 14 May 2024 Antonín Leopold Dvorák (1841 - 1904) was a Czech composer. Dvorák frequently employed rhythms and other aspects of the folk music of Moravia and his native Bohemia, following the Romantic-era nationalist example of his predecessor Bedrich Smetana. Dvorák's style has been described as "the fullest recreation of a national idiom with that of the symphonic tradition, absorbing folk influences and finding effective ways of using them," and he himself has been described as "arguably the most versatile... composer of his time". He displayed his musical gifts at an early age, being an apt violin student. The first public performances of his works were in Prague in 1872 and, with special success, in 1873, when he was 31 years old. Seeking recognition beyond the Prague area, he submitted scores of symphonies and other works to German and Austrian competitions. He did not win a prize until 1874, with Johannes Brahms on the jury of the Austrian State Competition. In 1877, after his third win, Brahms recommended Dvorák to his publisher, Simrock, who commissioned what became the Slavonic Dances, Op. 46. The sheet music's high sales and critical reception led to his international success. A London performance of Dvorák's Stabat Mater in 1883 led to many other performances in the United Kingdom, the United States, and eventually Russia in March 1890. The Seventh Symphony was written for London in 1885. This short song for a middle-register voice and organ is based on a traditional liturgical text extolling the Holy Trinity. The main part of the piece is surprisingly in G minor, while the closing doxology is written in G major. Dvořák wrote the song on 14 August 1878 while staying with his friend Alois Göbl at Sychrov. It was probably premiered the very next day in the Sychrov castle chapel, with Göbl performing the solo, accompanied by the composer at the organ. Dvořák’s manuscript of the song was kept by Göbl until his death in 1907, after which it was transferred to the Dvořák family estate; it was published for the first time in 1911 as a supplement to the fifth issue of the music journal Cyril.

Although originally composed for Voice and Organ, I created this Arrangement of the "Hymn to the Most Holy Trinity" (B. 82) in G Minor for Oboe & Strings (2 Violins, Viola & Cello). | |||
