Question: What symphony did the composer whose visit to Iowa inspired Summer Song compose in 1893?

 The lyrics were written by Eric Maschwitz and book by Hy Kraft to music by Dvorak arranged by Bernard Grun. Summer Song is a 1956 musical based on the visit of the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak to Iowa where he wrote his symphony "From the New World".  Maschwitz had already worked with Grun on the Chopin musical "Waltz Without End" in 1942. <SEP>  It is by far his most popular symphony, and one of the most popular of all symphonies.  In older literature and recordings, this symphony was often numbered as Symphony No. 5. The Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World", Op. 95, B. 178 (Czech: "„Z nového světa“" ), popularly known as the New World Symphony, was composed by Antonín Dvořák in 1893 while he was the director of the National Conservatory of Music of America from 1892 to 1895.  Neil Armstrong took a recording of the "New World Symphony" to the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission, the first Moon landing, in 1969.  The symphony was completed in the building that now houses the Bily Clocks Museum. <SEP> Wilson Sawyer (1917–1979) was an American composer, arranger and musician.  Born in Traverse City, Michigan, he showed musical talent at an early age and studied music at the University of Michigan.  Sawyer conducted the University's Women's Glee Club and led the Bill Sawyer Orchestra, a big band that was featured on WMAQ's "Fitch Summer Bandwagon" on July 7, 1940.  He composed several arrangements of choral works; popular songs for Perry Como, Fred Waring and Ray Eberle; music for the "Alaskan Stampede," a Leo Seltzer produced "musical extravaganza on ice" c. 1944, and an opera based on Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer.  He is best known for composing Symphony No. 1, known as the Alaskan Symphony, at Gypsy Trail, Carmel, New York in 1945.  The work includes text from the "Spell of the Yukon" by Robert W. Service sung by a baritone soloist in the third movement, as well as other thematic inspirations drawn from his study of the climate, topography and history of the then-territory.  The Alaskan Symphony was first performed in December 1945 by the American Symphony Orchestra and was broadcast across the United States and to overseas armed services at that time.  Wilson Sawyer conducted the piece and Gov. Ernest Gruening of Alaska was guest speaker on the program.  At Gruening's request, the original score was placed in the Alaskan Museum of Natural History [Alaska Historical Library and Museum] in Juneau, Alaska.  In 1960, Sawyer's wife Maxine was diagnosed with spinal cancer and they moved to Pawling, New York where he operated a chicken farm and laundromat.  He continued to compose.  The Alaskan Symphony was performed by the Hudson Valley Philharmonic in 1975 with Sawyer again conducting even though he had recently suffered a stroke.  Sawyer revised the Symphony in 1977, making substantial cuts to the fourth movement among other edits.  The revised Alaskan Symphony was premiered by the Juneau Symphony on June 14, 2008, conducted by music director Kyle Wiley Pickett. <SEP> Christopher Theofanidis (born December 18, 1967 in Dallas, Texas) is an American composer whose works have been performed by leading orchestras from around the world, including the London Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Moscow Soloists, the National, Atlanta, Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, and many others.  He participated in the Young American Composer-in-Residence Program with Barry Jekowsky and the California Symphony from 1994 to 1996 and, more recently, served as Composer of the Year for the Pittsburgh Symphony during their 2006–2007 Season, for which he wrote a violin concerto for Sarah Chang.
