Program Notes
Rustiana depicts Antonín Dvořák’s visit to America. It opens with the sound of an arriving ship’s fog horn and ringing bells to follow. The rich harmonies illustrate the rustic landscape of rural America where Dvorak spent some time. The piece illuminates his journey as he embraces America while longing for his home in Bohemia.
