Round 4: Tossup 2

A composer from this modern-day country created an English libretto for a piece he insisted was an “Epic,” not an oratorio, based on The Epic of Gilgamesh. Charles Ives and a composer from this modern-day country both wrote songs based on a nostalgic poem from this country, “Songs My Mother Taught (-5[1])Me.” Paul Wingfield’s edition of a mass from this country adds its Intrada to the beginning, creating a nine-movement form centered on the “Věruju” (“VAIR-oo-yoo”). A Postludium for solo organ is contained in that patriotic mass by a composer from this country who wrote the opera Jenůfa (10[1])(“yeh-NOO-fah”). The (-5[1])Glagolitic Mass is from this country, as was the composer of an English horn solo that was adapted into the faux-spiritual “Goin’ Home.” For 10 points, name this home country of Leoš Janáček (10[1])(“LAY-ohsh YAH-nah-check”) and Antonín Dvořák ■END■ (10[2])
