James M. Keller: Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Opus 95, From the New World: "In fact, the song “Goin’ Home” followed the symphony by three decades when, in 1922, William Arms Fisher crafted words to fit Dvořák’s tune. Fisher (1861-1948), who had studied with Dvořák at the National Conservatory and eventually was his teaching assistant there, became a notable music historian, editor, and author."
