More than a year ago, I recall that someone in Chat--can't remember who, and he or she may not be inclined to take credit--suggested lyrics to the big crescendo in the fourth movement:

Like a lot of awesome classical music, I first learned of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony while watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes. The fourth movement is a big part of the soundtrack to a very significant episode.
