Grand Canyon Suite
Album by Ferde Grofé & Eugene Ormandy & The Philadelphia Orchestra
Grand Canyon Suite is an orchestral suite by American composer Ferde Grofé, composed and first performed in 1931. The piece uses vivid orchestral tone‑painting, expansive melodies and American pastoral colours to evoke wide landscapes, and it marked Grofé's transition from jazz‑influenced arranging to composing large-scale concert works that contributed to the development of American orchestral repertoire.
