dvoraks new world symphony is a must know in classical music, and then you know the reference ives made in his first one. the melody in 3:52 is very catchy and famous. this piece has a great influence on all following music, especially when it comes to describing something foreign (musically ofc). so this piece is used in alot of soundtracks, most famous "lord of the rings". if you listen to the second movement "largo" (around the 14th minute) you will notice a similarity to howard shores track for describing the world of hobbits (i used same language to make clear how this reference work with regards to this content, and i think the piece is called "concerning hobbits" if im not wrong). even the metal band rhapsody used the 4th movement "allegro con fuoco" (39:22). btw the conductor sergiu celibidache is one of the best and underestimated conductors of all time. he conducted the berlin philharmonic before karajan did, but all people only know karajan (which wasnt half as good) ;)
