Description:

Composed by Antonín Dvorák (1841-1904) in the winter of 1881 and 1882, MEIN HEIM (MY HOMELAND), Op. 62/B. 125a originally belonged to a set of nine numbers intended to accompany Frantisek Samberk’s play “Josef Kajetán Tyl.” Commissioned by the Czech Provisional Theatre in Prague, it reflected the nationalism of the stage work with the appearance of the songs “In our courtyard yonder” and Frantisek Skroup’s “Where is my home?,” which later became the Czech national anthem. It premiered on February 3, 1882 under the direction of Adolf Cech. The overture is most commonly performed alone in concert hall programs. Instrumentation: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.0: Timp.Perc(1): Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set).
