The beginning of this work's third movement draws heavily from the scherzo of Beethoven's ninth symphony, and the scoring of this work is unusual in that the piccolo is used only briefly in the first movement.  This work often features flattened leading notes and plagal cadances, as well as a heavily syncopated rhythm and marked pentatonism.  Harry Burleigh penned the spiritual "Goin' Home" based on the Largo theme of its second movement, but its composer denied that the main theme was directly based on "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot." He did admit, however, that the third-movement Scherzo was based on the Song of Hiawatha.  For 10 points, name this symphony inspired by black and Native American spirituals by Antonin Dvorak.
