Written in 1891 as Antonín Dvo?ák (1841-1904) was considering Jeannette Thurber's generous offer to move to the United States and serve as director of her National Conservatory of Music in New York, the concert overture IN NATURE'S REALM, Op. 91/B. 168 (V P?ÍROD?, KONCERTNÍ OUVERTURA) is the first work in a triptych of concert overtures meant to offer impressions of what the human soul may experience. Originally titled Nature, Life, and Love, Dvo?ák decided to publish each with a more distinct identity: NATURE'S REALM, Op. 91 for nature, CARNIVAL, Op. 92 for life, and OTHELLO, Op. 93 for love. IN NATURE'S REALM opens with a highly poetic stylization of the voices of nature, with the main theme making use of Moravian folk yodeling. Johannes Brahms noted in a letter to Dvo?ák's publisher that the work was "merry" and remarked that, "music directors will be thankful to you" for publishing the overtures. The work premiered on April 28th, 1892, by the Orchestra of the National Theatre in Prague, Dvo?ák conducting. Instrumentation: 2.2+EH.2+BCl.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(1): Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set). This critical edition was edited by Dvo?ák expert Otakar Šourek.
