Six months. Six beautiful months of inspiration and growth. Six months of Maker's and ginger, six months of who's the better cook, six months of real partnership, six months of homemade curries, six months of cuddling while watching TV, six months of...attempting to watch My Hero, six months of vacation planning and wedding planning and debating children and contemplating our future. That's all it took - 6 months. Half a year it took for my whole life to change. At the beginning of this year, marriage was nothing more than a mere suggestion of something I might do - an option that was available to me, a scenic detour on the winding road of life. I wanted it, but only in the theoretical sense of it being something that might be nice to experience some day. How strange that not even a year later, marriage is something I now see as...obvious. Inevitable, even. I think that it might seem strange to you, but I actually knew that I would ask you to marry me from very early on in our relationship. Before I had even gotten to know you, really. I don't even know why I knew this. I wish that I could tell you a logical reason. I wish I could identify the specific set of characteristics that made me feel the way that I feel about you. Is it that effortless smile that just lights up your whole face? The melodic rhythm of your speech? Your huge eyes? Or is it your ambition, your humor, your hunger for life? It's all of these, but also none of these. It really was just something I felt. An intuition. A sort of aura that I experienced when I was with you. A vibe of life affirmation and a certainty of hope for the future. It's interesting that the first time I recognized my love for you, I actually wasn't even thinking of you particularly. I was noting the change that I was seeing within myself. I would come home from your place feeling...aggressive. Passionate. Inspired. Victorious. I was feeling like my true self - the self I always knew was there but could never quite bring to the surface. I remember in those first few weeks feeling the stark difference between the person that I was and the person that I was becoming. Spending time with you was not just a joy in the moment, but an unfolding of my core being - a revelation of my soul. Smitha, my love. The life we are going to have together, and the partnership we are building, is going to be so beautiful, exciting, comforting, and loving. That's not to say we won't have our challenges. You know we will. But I can't wait to experience it all with you - the exuberant highs and the silent, awkward lows. You know I've always thought of human life as a kind of art. Our potential is the canvas, our choices the brushstrokes, fate gives us the colors. But we are the artists, and our creations are our legacy. Let us paint our lives not merely for our own sake, but also for the enrichment of all those who are watching us. Let's create a masterpiece to be remembered by, together. With all that said, I have a question for you. Smitha Mathew, my love, will you marry me?

Burleigh (both African Americans), Horatio Parker, and Maurice Arnold - to forge a uniquely American tradition; they, in turn, became mentors and teachers to a new generation of composers, including Charles Ives, George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, and Duke Ellington. Dvorak heard for himself the "dialects and idioms ... commingled in this great country" and expressed them in his own way in a dozen masterpieces written during his visit. His "New World" Symphony, for example - still the most famous ever written on American soil - was composed in New York amid what he called the "American push" of the streets. And two of his most celebrated chamber works, the F Major Quartet and the E-flat Major Quintet, were written during his travels through the prairies of northeast Iowa, which he described as the "American Sahara." The contributors to this anthology are among the world's most distinguished authorities on Dvorak.

A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of 2021 A provocative interpretation of why classical music in America "stayed white"—how it got to be that way and what can be done about it. In 1893 the composer Antonín Dvorák prophesied a “great and noble school” of American classical music based on the “negro melodies” he had excitedly discovered since arriving in the United States a year before. But while Black music would foster popular genres known the world over, it never gained a foothold in the concert hall. Black composers found few opportunities to have their works performed, and white composers mainly rejected Dvorák’s lead. Joseph Horowitz ranges throughout American cultural history, from Frederick Douglass and Huckleberry Finn to George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess and the work of Ralph Ellison, searching for explanations. Challenging the standard narrative for American classical music fashioned by Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein, he looks back to literary figures—Emerson, Melville, and Twain—to ponder how American music can connect with a “usable past.” The result is a new paradigm that makes room for Black composers, including Harry Burleigh, Nathaniel Dett, William Levi Dawson, and Florence Price, while giving increased prominence to Charles Ives and George Gershwin. Dvorák’s Prophecy arrives in the midst of an important conversation about race in America—a conversation that is taking place in music schools and concert halls as well as capitols and boardrooms. As George Shirley writes in his foreword to the book, “We have been left unprepared for the current cultural moment. [Joseph Horowitz] explains how we got there [and] proposes a bigger world of American classical music than what we have known before. It is more diverse and more equitable. And it is more truthful.”
