Question
Note to players: exact key required. The adagio of a symphony in this key opens with a horn solo on the notes “G-up to C-D-C, long C,” quoting the song “The Little Field of Barley.” A symphony in this key opens with bassoons playing a syncopated, slurred rhythm under a static violin tremolo (“TREM-oh-loh”). A symphony in this key prominently features a tin whistle and African drums in its third movement juba dance. Florence Price’s first symphony in this key was inspired by another piece in this key whose fourth movement begins with the strings repeatedly playing a sinister B-C figure. This is the key of Amy Beach’s Gaelic Symphony. This key was used for another symphony whose largo second movement, which features a prominent English horn solo, was later arranged into the song “Goin’ Home.” For 10 points, name this key with one sharp, which was used by Antonín Dvořák for his New World Symphony. ■END■
