conveys to listeners. Dvořák was also influenced by the style and techniques used by earlier classical composers including Beethoven and Schubert. The falling fourths and timpani strokes in the New World Symphonys Scherzo movement evoke the Scherzo of Beethoven's Choral Symphony (Symphony No. 9). The use of flashbacks to prior movements in the New World Symphony's last movement is reminiscent of Beethoven quoting prior movements in the opening Presto of the Choral Symphony's final movement. Reception At the premiere in Carnegie Hall, the end of every movement was met with thunderous clapping and Dvořák felt obliged to stand up and bow. This was one of the greatest public triumphs of Dvořák's career. When the symphony was published, several European orchestras soon performed it. Alexander Mackenzie conducted the London Philharmonic Society in the first London performance on 21 June 1894. Clapham says the symphony became "one of the most popular of all time" and at a time when the composer's main works were being welcomed in no more than ten countries, this symphony reached the rest of the musical world and has become a "universal favorite". As of 1978, it had been performed more often "than any other symphony at the Royal Festival Hall, London" and is in "tremendous demand in Japan". "Goin' Home" The theme from the Largo was adapted into the spiritual-like song "Goin' Home" (often mistakenly considered a folk song or traditional spiritual) by Dvořák's pupil William Arms Fisher, who wrote the lyrics in 1922. In the UK, the theme became familiar to the general public after its use in an advert for the Hovis bakery. In 1981, Don Williams would record a different song written to the melody, by Roger Cook. The resulting composition, "Miracles", would peak at number 4 on the Billboard country singles chart that July, and also reach number 32 on the adult contemporary chart. In popular culture The piece, IV. Allegro con fuoco, is known for the entrance theme of professional wrestler Gunther and that of his stable, Imperium. There are several bosses in video games, including Augus from Asura's Wrath, Fahad from The Finale – Tale of the Fallen and Doggo from Deer simulator, who have the fourth movement of the symphony play throughput their respective fights. Parts of the first movement also feature during cutsceens in Colony Wars: Vengeance In the Korean television program Kingdom, the group Ateez mixed it with
