Antonín Dvořák: Ten Biblical songs (Czech: Biblické Písně), Op. 99

Antonín Dvořák's 1894 song cycle, based on selections from the Book of Psalms as translated by the Bible of Kralice.

I think this is an excellent composition, an atmospheric, moody number from Antonín Dvořák at his peak. While not his most famous work, I'm suspicious about the copyright state of those New World Symphony files we have. Plus, there's just something nice about finding something that Wikipedia doesn't have, and using it to illustrrate points and articles that previously had nothing.

Anyway, I think the work stands on its own merits - Dvorak is, after all, a genius - so I don't feel the need to defend this too much. Enjoy!
