Dvorak symphony no 9 new world ii largo
Performed by DuPage Symphony Orchestra
Antonín Dvorák wrote his Symphony no. 9 in E minor, Op. 95 From the New World in 1893, while he acted as director of the National Conservatory of Music of America. The piece is popularly known as the New World Symphony, and it is usually referred to as Dvorák's ninth symphony, though in older literature it can be found listed as his fifth symphony (it is very rarely referred to by its Burghauser catalogue number, B. 178). This is by far his most popular work, and one of the most popular romantic pieces ever. Dvorák claimed he was inspired by the peculiarities of the Native American music, and drew attention to its similarities with the African and Scottish music. The sound of the symphony is predominantly pentatonic, so musicologists tend to agree that Dvorak was referring to this characteristic. The theme of the second movement was adapted into a spiritual called Goin' home by Dvorák's pupil William Arms Fisher, who wrote the lyrics in 1922. The popularity of this version has caused the erroneous impression that Goin' Home was the original version. However, it is possible that Dvorák drew inspiration from existing spiritual melodies. The symphony also draws heavily from European tradition: the opening of the third movement bears a strong resemblance to the opening of the third movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony.

Children who listened to classical music for one hour a day ?over a six-month period exhibited brain changes that indicated greater levels of relaxation — even ?when the children were not asked to pay attention to the music.
If testing anxiety causes sleepless nights, classical music can help soothe insomnia. A team of researchers at the University of Toronto found that tuning into classical music before bedtime helped people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Works by Brahms, Handel, Mozart, Strauss and Bach were effective sleep aids because they use rhythms and tonal patterns that create a meditative mood and slow brainwaves, the study found.
