Song of the New World is a 1973 album by jazz pianist McCoy Tyner, his fourth to be released on the Milestone label. It was recorded in April 1973 and features performances by Tyner with a big band including saxophonist Sonny Fortune, flautist Hubert Laws, bassist Joony Booth and drummer Alphonse Mouzon along with a brass section, and a full string section on two tracks conducted by William Fischer.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "The powerful pianist is in fine form and the main soloist throughout. Most memorable is the title cut and a reworking of 'Afro Blue'."[2]
