The Water Goblin (Vodník), Op. 107, B. 195 by Antonín Dvořák
Dvořák completed this work, the second of his six symphonic poems for orchestra, in 1896. The work is based on a Czech folk poem Dvořák found in a collection published by the folklorist Karel Jaromír Erben. The structure of the music closely follows the narrative in the poem, with a specific theme for each of the main characters being heard in the same sequence that they are encountered in the story. The premiere performance for the Water Goblin was given in November of 1896 in London.
This work is comprised of a single movement.
