Symphony No. 9 in E minor, "From the New World", Op. 95 (1893). Public domain. The complete first statement of the Largo theme (the English-horn solo, printed at concert pitch in D-flat in the source), encoded mechanically from the public-domain Mutopia edition; the accompaniment is a simple Rithm chord reduction. William Arms Fisher adapted this melody in 1922 as the spiritual-style song "Goin' Home"; only Dvorak's instrumental theme is included here.

Public-domain song — the basis above is why it is free for everyone.
