    Antonin Dvorak was Czech composer, who was so popular in his time like Beatles or Michael Jackons many years ago, he was first world music star. All his music is really amazing.

    I distinctly remember this song, my grandmother used to play Dvorak during family gatherings. I remember being; no older then 4 years old; stunned by Dvorak. She would play music like this every Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter... every time we got together. Those were great times... I miss her so much. She was such a graceful and loving person.

    Moon, high and deep in the sky
    Your light sees far,
    You travel around the wide world,
    and see into people's homes.
    Moon, stand still a while
    and tell me where is my dear.
    Tell him, silvery moon,
    that I am embracing him.
    For at least momentarily
    let him recall of dreaming of me.
    Illuminate him far away,
    and tell him, tell him who is waiting for him!
    If his human soul is in fact dreaming of me,
    may the memory awaken him!
    Moonlight, don't disappear, disappear!

    I first heard this beautiful music in the movie "Driving Miss Daisy" . It was played in this scene in the movie where Miss Daisy is quietly doing some needlework, the camera pulls back to show her in a small sitting area and this beautiful music fills the house. I waited until the credits rolled to find out what this beautiful music was and have enjoyed replaying it on this site.

    I first heard this years ago when I watched Bicentennial Man. For ages I thought it was completely different piece. Whenever I heard that one I always got confused as to why the melody didn't move in the same way. So after watching Bicentennial Man for the 200th time, I finally decided to look it up.
    This piece is so beautiful. I've loved it for so long- finally I know what it is.
    It's miles better than the one I thought it was.. which I just looked up- Un bel di, vedremo from Puccini's Madame Butterfly.

    Yesterday November 16 was the day she passed away in 1993, only 54 years old. A big loss for opera and singing. Such a great soprana, so pure and natural. Lucia Popp was great in Mozart, Wagner (Lohengrin and Meistersinger), Strauss and Janacek, among others.

    The first little minute of this beautiful music is telling the story of "Rusalka"... but at 00:53 the magic and overwhelming beauty of Dvorak music, begins as the violins plays, soft and very quiet, a theme with only two notes...leading up the soprano singing... "Song to the Moon" and if beauty was ever put into music...it is here !!

    This far surpasses anything in any field that I might be capable of doing myself! It is the most difficult thing to write good music! So therefore this is the mature utterance of Dvorak's sheer genius!!!

    @goodbyelonglive44 I don't know which instrument per say, but its created by the string section for sure. If they have the recording device in the appropriate place and they play that section a certain way (I forgot the term, but I know it involves a strong depression of the strings and quick bow movement) you'll get a certain sound. Combine one instrument with...what...15? Thus, you get that sound. Well, at least that's what I think: I'm not really an expert on these things.
