I decided to do my final paper on the orchestral piece "Symphony No. 8" by Antonin Dvorak. Just like the work "Scheherezade" (and most other music) this piece tells a story through music. Every chord, melody, and rhythm represents a phrase of words, and when put together, it creates a dramatic and beautiful story. In my paper, I wrote a poem for each of the four movements that depicted my interpretation of the piece. Obviously any piece can be interpreted in many different ways, but in my opinion, that is the beauty of music. It speaks to different people in different ways. With that being said, "Symphony No. 8" is one of my personal favorite orchestral arrangements. Please feel free to enjoy this link!
